Argentine 7.62x51 ammo

Is Argentine 7.62x51 a decent ammo? Was told it was made in 1979. Thanks.

WHERE?

I've got a batch, haven't had a misfire yet and my Saiga 308 eats it pretty fast.

I had some for my old converted Argentine Mauser. It went with the rifle, then I got another converted Mauser. Don't have any extra you'd wantto sell or trade for regular 7.62x51 would you? SG Ammo had some, but I don'tneed 1000 rds, LOL.

Are you thinking of Cetme ammo?

I still have some tarnished Argentine 7.62x51 which I got from Century when they were 10cents a round. Shot fine! Now, I am down to only 500 from 1200 rds.

If it is bright and shiny, it should be ok.. I had some '77 that wasn't and I rejected it because you could wiggle the bullet in the case. The M14forum.com likes it and I haven't had any problems with my '83. There is a post in that forum that someone picked up some '79 in Jan but hasn't posted since. Don't buy loose rounds.

D'oh! Yeah, CETME is Spanish. My .308Mauser was an Argentine.My bad.
