    LOL, Turkish LC?

    I guess they're so used to seeing LC on Federal and Lake City made ammo, they don't know what it means.

    It probably is actual Lake City production. I bought a couple cans of Korean 30.06 and they had a few bandoliers of American 30.06 mixed in. I think they were Twin Cities and Denver. Remember a lot of countries got US surplus and I don't think Turkey ever made their own 30.06.

      Really, even though it says "Made in"? I'll have to go find the ad and see how much it was. Pretty spend I think. Not sure I'd want to buy any without knowing when it was made though.

        I saw that email from PSA, it was like 800-something rounds for $700-something. Little less than a buck per...

            What would you guess the LC on the box label means? It could have nothing to do with the headstamp for all I know.

              Ok I just went on to the Palmetto website it does say it is manufactured by MKE. My guess is that LC means lead core instead of AP.

                This was my thought too.

                I highly doubt they would even know to refer to it as Lake City.

                If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

                  Turk ammo claims to be...

                  ...NATO spec. Problem is that the NATO spec requires periodic NATO inspection and auditing of the ammo plant.

                  That's yet to happen in Turkey.
