Important Considerations

This ammunition uses corrosive primers, which is typical of military surplus from earlier eras. After shooting, you must thoroughly clean your rifle's bore and chamber with hot water or a corrosive-removal solvent to prevent rust and pitting. This is not optional—it is essential maintenance.

A Note on Surplus Ammunition

Surplus ammunition represents genuine military stock. Expect minor cosmetic variations in case condition and primer appearance. This is normal and does not affect function or safety.
