    Turk 7.62x51 Ammunition

    Anybody ever heard of this brand of ammunition? It's a new one on me. A buddy got it at the local Wally World the other day, $18/20 rounds. My wife works there so I get a 10% discount but there's a measly 3 box per customer per day limit. I looked around on line to see if I could find it comparably priced in bulk but no such luck, couldn't find it listed at any of the distributors I deal with. Box says it's made to NATO spec and claims it will group less than 1 MOA @ 100 meters. I put a couple boxes through my M1Aicon yesterday, seems to be very consistent but I didn't get any sub MOA groups. 100 yard 3 shot groups averaged 1.5 MOA while 300 yard 3 shot groups averaged 4''. The old M1A is getting a bit grey around the edges so I couldn't complain, that's not bad for non match ammo from a rifle that never was a consistent sub MOA shooter to begin with. When I get the chance I'll run this last box through my SSA M40 and see how close to sub MOA it comes.
    In the mean time if anyone in forum land knows of a source that's less than 18 bucks a box I wouldn't mind picking up a 1000 rounds.
    BTW, the brass is boxer primed and looks to be of good quality.
    Drats and curses, meant to cull that 4th photo but for the Enfield fans there's proof the Germans used No.4 T's whenever they could get their grimey paws on one.

    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.

    Try putting a magnet near the projectiles to see whether they are like the Germanicon plated-steel jobs.

    Nothing wrong with plated mild steel bullets jackets; just keep them dry and un-scratched.

    Boxer priming is a bonus for the "thrifty"; once (or more) on the range, once in "the woods" (especially with semis).

    Wally World must have a contract with the Turks. Several calibers out there including 5.56 with an on line link. If you are getting 4" at 300 in an M1Aicon with open sights you and the ammo are doing pretty decent. Assume its Berdan primed?

    (Love the AK cam before he gets to the 9mm Turk ammo)
