Please be careful as to your ammo purchases. Best advise I can give is that if it looks questionable or it origins are questionable DON'T buy it.
Here's a rundown of some bad ammo.
Dominican Republic yellow tip (it's called that as the tip is painted yellow).
Maine Cartridge Co.
TNW's "blaster grade" .50 BMG (see attached photo) warped a friends top cover on his M2.
Yugo/Bosnian is a little on the warm side and mildly corrosive (tested by the FCSA) it's good plinking stuff just clean accordingly. If you do happen to find any surplus that's 1952 or older, it will more then likely be corrosive. So be sure to clean your .50 to get rid of all the corrosive compounds.
