Details
This 7.62 NATO ammunition was produced in the 1980s by Syarikat Malaysia Explosive Ltd, which is now known as SME Ordnance. Each lot of 540 rounds comes packaged in a reusable steel ammo can with a sturdy latch and carry handle. As military surplus, this ammo is relatively inexpensive yet highly reliable.
These cartridges fire a 146-grain bimetal jacketed bullet and produce trajectories comparable to those of M80 ball. Expect solid performance in a variety of .308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm rifles including the M-14, FAL, and a wide variety of bolt-actions.
Like all mil spec ammo, these rounds have cases with visible annealing marks, which are usually polished away on commercial ammo. These cartridges differ from more recent military production in their use of non-corrosive Berdan primers, which are very dependable but cannot be removed from the casing as easily as spent Boxer primers. Reloaders may want to choose another of BulkAmmo.com's great selection of .308/7.62 loads.

I have a ptr 91, I haven't had one misfire!! I have shoot all 540 rds and want more!! they are hot rounds that burn alittle dirty!! I shoot quite often and don't clean my gun every time! just after 200 to 300 rounds.with this ammo I clean every 200 rds give or take a few rds with no problems at all! maybe some of these guys haven't broke there guns in yet or have a magazine problem or not enough lube! I don't know iam not an expert!! they shoot fine and seem to be about 2 inch moa not to bad and the price is good!! ps the ptr is not the most accurate riffle in the world and mine is stock with a stiff and spongy triger!! mil spec heavy pull!! good in battle but not for shooting targets!!

AT LEAST 50% of the ammo is not shooting for me. Probably higher. When it does shoot, the rounds fail to extract half the time. Do the math, the cheap price wouldn't be very cheap if you're only getting 1/2 the rounds you paid for. Might as well spend more money on something that works. (Posted on 10/11/2018)

I BOUGHT THIS MALASIAN AMMO A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR PRACTICE ROUNDS. WAS GOING OFF OF CURRENT REVIEWS. I DID HAVE PAUSE WHEN NOTED THEY WERE FROM 1978 STAMPED ON THE BOXES. THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD WATER DAMAGE. SURE ENOUGH SOME FIRED, MOST DID NOT. OUT OF THE 320 ROUNDS I BOUGHT MAYBE 100 FIRED. I WILL NEVER BUY MAYLA AMMO AGAIN. (Posted on 8/15/2018)

First off, this round seems to severely overgas my AR10 (around 2 revolutions on my adjustable gas block when switching from Federal GM),so it is advisable to get an adjustable gas block along with this ammo. Performance wise I was getting around 2 MOA groups out of a 16 inch LFA that can do just sub-MOA groups with GM.
It's accurate enough to take out to well past 300 yards and cheap enough to actually encourage you to shoot it. I now have a hard time leaving my AR10 at home on range days. (Posted on 8/12/2018)

200 meters - Man size target; no wind; was able to place all rounds in the head, good enough for range work. Don’t think I’d use it for long distance precision shooting but still good enough to use for a day at the range. I’ll order more; it goes bang every time and could hold its own at 200 meters.

Cases are a bit dark--some luster remains on bullets. ALL fired and ejected (40 feet, PTR) flawlessly. ACCURACY--rivaled the ammo that costs 2x as much. BERDAN primers--so what? Loaded a tad hotter than some others, running about 2700. WHAT is not to like??? (Posted on 5/22/2018)

Hey fellow shooters,
I just got back from shooting my first 80 rounds of this ammo. I’m using a standard loaded M1A with a Sage stock. Out of that 80 I had 13 failure to fires. I don’t think it’s the weapon as I had zero FF with my last hundred of Winchester, 60 of PMC, and 40 of Federal. I’ll post again if something changes with the rest of the batch. The accuracy isn’t amazing but I feel like it was equal to the price. About 7 MOA... Good Luck and have fun out there. (Posted on 3/22/2018)

2 MOA out of my PTR-91, YMMV. I would buy as much as I can while it’s at this price. Very dirty, though, and smells terrible when you fire it. It puts lead down range, so I can’t complain too much. (Posted on 3/21/2018)
Clean , bright ammo in a sealed can. I would've bought more but the price went up and I found a better deal.

I used this ammo in my Armalite AR-10A and it worked amazing. So far, I've shoot about 200 rounds of it and every round has fed, fired, and ejected flawlessly. I even used it to blow up some Tannerite at 50 yards. Definitely the most reliable economy class 308 ammo I've been able to find. I've only shot about 100 of these rounds at 100 yards and I could only get them into about 3 inch groupings, but I was also sighting in a new scope so that could be why. Overall, this ammo is awesome, best bang for your buck, perfect for having fun at the range, and the cool military ammo box it comes in is a cherry on top. I will be buying a lot more of this.

What to say about this ammo, first can I had multiple fail to fires dated 1974, Recessed primers my worst case scenario, pin mark dead center no bang live round a huge number of failures per rounds fired. Second case dated 1984. All of them perfect. This ammo has some fliers but not large enough to complain about for price..Not sure I would want to have to trust it in the woods. If you practice proper technique unloading misfire your ok, but I sure don't like the regularity of the click no bang.

So far have ran about 240 rounds through my PWS Mk220 and only had 1 round fail to fire, I had to manually eject the round and looked it over. Primer had been hit, just like the ones I had previously shot, I decided to put it back in and try to see if it would fire on a second pull, it fired and hit the target that was 246 yards away. Considering the age of the ammo/primer this stuff is good and I am in the process of ordering some more. Thanks BulkAmmo. (Posted on 12/18/2017)

Well third session to the range and 300 rounds pushed down range with my PTR 91. This is great ammunition! Burns clean, doesn't dump carbon fouling trash into my roller locks and chamber like the steel cased ammo. I will never buy any more steel cased ammunition. Every shot went bang and had no failures to feed or eject. (Posted on 10/22/2017)

Well my two boxes that I ordered came in today as always the packaging was good. Opened the cardboard boxes and the outsides of the ammo cans looked a little like hell.
Dirty, dinged and one looked like someone spilled a soda on it.
So I decided to open the ammo cans and the inside is pristine! The ammunition looks like it just came off the showroom floor. The seal on the ammo can had the lid sealed tighter than the lid on a pickle jar! I almost couldn't get it open. But when I did, it was worth it.
Hopefully it shoots as good as it looks! I will buy more. (Posted on 9/22/2017)

Who even knew Malaysia had an army? This turned out to be a pretty good deal. Ammo was no dirtier than any thing else and every one went bang. I shot off about 75 rounds breaking in a new gun and did have some failure to eject toward the end, but I think that was because I had not broken down and lubed the bolt assembly prior to my trip to the range. Should note that this ammo was remarkably consistent in the loads and was very accurate at 100 yds. I have ordered my next case. (Posted on 9/20/2017)

I bought this to run through my Palmetto Arms AR-10 at the range. It all went bang, but it grouped beautifully at 100 yds. It seemed a little dirty, but no worse than any other cheap ammo. I have only shot about 75 rounds and will update this review if I find anything different. I am going to buy another box if that tells you anything. (Posted on 8/31/2017)

Q: I read in the reviews that the casings are not re-loadable. Is this true?
Posted On: 6/9/2018 By: Paul
A: Hi Paul,
These cartridges differ from more recent military production in their use of non-corrosive Berdan primers, which are very dependable but cannot be removed from the casing as easily as spent Boxer primers. Reloaders may want to choose another of BulkAmmo.com's great selection of .308/7.62 loads.
Q: Is this steel ammo? Will it pass magnet test?
Posted On: 10/31/2017 By: Narb
A: No, the jacketing is bi-metal, which means that there is steel in it. It will attract a magnet.
