    Winchester Ammunition

    I have several boxes of Winchester 7.62x51 ammunition. The projectile is the 147gr FMJ. It functions perfectly in my M1's, M1Aicon, and Panther Arms LR308. It's also very accurate. It's commercially sold, and comes in the white box.

    The case heads show "WCCC", 2-digit year, and the NATO cross imprint.

    Is this ammunition MILSPEC; i.e. crimped primer pocket, military thickness, etc.? Nothing on Winchester's web site states any more detailed specifications.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I think the NATO cross means that it's built to NATO specs. So, unless it's reloads, it's mil-spec.
