Pidooma said it was Paki, someone else here said it was Indian.

I am guessing it was indian because it came in the bandos/cans and was priced in 400rd lots but I didn't look that closely or ask. Looked like this to me:

Stay away from Indian. Its bad.

If yer shootin 308 in a bolt... you might as well stick to factory. Sure little more expensive, but you get better bang for your buck.

I bought some Indian back in 2003 and it sucked big time.
A few month ago I bought a couple of thousand of rounds of the new stuff and have fired through my M1a with out a hitch.
But, on the other hand, stay away fromt the Indian it will blow your gun up.

The 70's indian isnt bad. Its the more recent stuff you have to watch out for. Apparently things went south after the brits left.

? The Brits left after August 1947 when India got its independence.

Price????

125/400 + tax (8.25) = 135.31/400 = 33.8c/rd

From what I heard, the ammo manufacturing at least, still benefited from the British ethic, or expertise, or whatever you want to call it.

The ammo is from '75. I bought some to try out. Hopefully it won't blow up my FAL.

Interesting. I asked one of the Miwall guys and he said it was Pakistani. They need to get their stories straight.

Just wear a full face mask when you shoot.
