    Ammo identification help 7.62x51

    Hi, please help identify this 7.62x51 ammo. They all say RG 60 L2A2. They come on stripper lips that say "SEY" on the back of them. Looks copper washed. Bullet and case attracts a magnet. Thanks

    Google says.....

    I was going through my 7.62X51 ammo and I found some stuff that I have set aside until I could figure out what it was. It has the following headstamp: RG, 60, Nato Circle/Cross, L2A2. First impression is that is is Radway Green, which would be good. However, it has a seel case and a steel bullet (by magnet). Do not think RG did any steel cases. The case has a coloring on it to make it appear like it is really brass. I have heard that this ammo may be a Chinese knock-off and it may be corrosive....

      As the link says fake Brit Radway Green ammo and likely corrosive. I still run across it from time to time usually in like a sealed 300 round can with a carry strap.

        For the fake M14 that the Chinese made to supply commie rebels in SE Asia. They elected not to follow through with it, thus the surplus M14-types sold cheap. And the ammo. That's what I recall reading.

                  Should I sell this ammo? Doesn't sound like it is very friendly to shoot through my bolt-action or AR-10.
