    I think they use berdan primers so if your plan is to reload I would pass.

      If you are just looking for something to shoot through your PTR, 7.62 Garand, or M1A then yes, it'll do the job. Functions fine, accuracy is decent for milsurp.

          I shot a few rounds from a friend's supply. Can confirm it shoots well, much better than Freedom Munitions reloads. Beware it is Berdan primed which means it is corrosive. It's okay to shoot that ammo, but do clean your barrels after every range trip when shooting that stuff.

            The Maylasian is non-corrosive Berdan primers.

            I have some for my M1A. Would buy more.

              I bought a crate of the Malaysian stuff. It has good accuracy and functions fine, but I wish I had held out for the reloadable Poonsang surplus for just a couple cents more per round.

                  Those two do not go hand in hand. There are non-corrosive Berdan primers.

                    Or buy some Privi Partisan or CBC(MEN) for $275.00/500 or so shipped. Non magnetic, and good, reloadable brass...

                      Like saying all boxer surplus are non-corrosive.

                        Got the ammo delivered, 400 rds. for $165.- to the front door. Got an email that said 21 Dec. last day to order, after that they will be honoring the certification that allows you buy via the internet. This is SGAmmo out of Stillwater, OK..

                          Happy shooting.

                          FYI, I recently ordered 460 of the PMC surplus for $197 shipped from SG. I like it a little better than the L2A2, but they'll both go bang reliably:
