my bad, I found it.

This is new production Igman Ammunition manufactured in Bosnia to NATO Specs, Boxer Primed, Non-Corrosive, Lead Core in 10 boxes of 20 rounds per 200 round battle pack. You are buying one 200 round battle pack. M80, .308 Winchester/7.62x51, FMJ, 147 Grain, 200 Round Battle Pack. This is actual military contract ammunition from Igman, approved as a supplier by the U.S. Army,


I answered my own question. I bought this from cheaper than dirt a year ago.

Use Windex or similar generic glass cleaner to clean the bore of your rifle when you are done shooting. The ammonia will counteract the corrosive properties of the powder.
