I don't know if this is a DUPE but I figured if it wasn't it would better to be safe rather than sorry. Below are links to the thread on Falfiles and another link to cetmerifles about the same thing. many pics of destroyed guns on cetmerifles.

Hi Jeff,
I don't have a problem with you sharing my
comments. This ammo is
notorious for blowing guns up, and it is dirty.
I don't understand why this ammo is even
imported. There are many
dealers that will not sell Indian ammo because
they are aware of the
potential hazard. Of all the ammo we have ever
seen, Indian ammo is by
far the worst. Please be sure to include that we
are not 100% sure that
OFV is Indian, be we are pretty sure that it
Varoon, which is India.
We have had many questions about our ammo
warning, and DSA is to my
knowledge the only company that takes the time to
post and share info on
potentially harmful ammo.
Best Wishes,

Please understand folks, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade....just asking a tough question
Is the saving of 20cents per round worth the risk of ruining a rifle, or God forbid, severe injury?
