The box of South African .308 was so heavy (over 80 pounds) I could barely lift it but the UPS lady brought it to my back door. Part of the weight was the heavy duty, military green metal box with carrying handles and latches. One side of the box was closed with a wire embedded in a metal seal (looking somwhat like the wax document seals from days of yore.) The metal box, with gasket sealing against moisture, would protect the ammo against some very harsh blows. The ammo itself consists of seven packets of 140 rounds each (980 rounds total) securely sealed in heavy-duty plastic bags with their own built in carrying handles. To open the package, you pull off a tie on the front of the package. No moisture could get into these thoroughly sealed packs. The ammo itself comes in small boxes of 20 rounds each. The c. late 1970's/early 1980's FMJ ammo looks to be in like new condition, as one would expect from the packaging. The ammo cost $147 for 980 rounds, plus $17 for delivery (in three days) from Aim in Ohio. This seems like a good buy to me.
