May have kept some of it, but much was left behind or was mangled by the semi-auto Bren. To compound the confusion, I have separate dies set up for SMLEs, the No.3(T), and also No.4 rifles. Then there's the odd ducks. Brass from unknown rifles gets shuffled off to some odd containers or three. Almost as bad as the various 7,62x51/.308W madness.

The price is going up on the Greek surplus ammo by $20. They also seem to be no longer attached to stripper clips.
Sad day, knowing that I didn't get any.

Received a case of the loose rounds yesterday and exactly half was 1969 manufacture and the other half was 1976 manufacture. All of it was in great shape!!

Price per round is the same. With the 450/case you got the chargers free. Can't imagine why anyone would order the loose before the clipped (when it was in stock).
The loose is from 48 round boxes, which seems typical. I have some old Century Egyptian in pasteboard boxes with 48 round counts.

They have been all out of the ammo on chargers for a while. I wished I had ordered more when they had it on strippers, but the loose rounds are better for the No 4 Mk1 Ts as you can't use the strippers to load them anyway with the scope mounted.

Got my two cases just before bedtime yesterday. Had a brief look inside one case: one box was '73, another was '68. Looked about new. 
May be a while before it all gets sorted, etc.

It's a Hazmat shipping label full of a bunch of regulatory nonsense. You would be amazed what it takes as far as paperwork to deliver "Hazardous Material" to anywhere. Sporting ammunition is the "proper shipping name" and inert just means lead whereas tracer would say flammable projectile.

76 and 75 headstamp all in good condition but just throw into boxes.
Weird, I was tracking the shipment but it never updated and said it was on the way then it just showed up. I'm happy...

Thank you for posting this deal, as of last Monday the 450 w/charger clips is "Sold Out" but my buddy was able to score the 480 round box after I emailed him the link. We'll be sorting the ammo in the next two weeks once we see what was sent I'll post again but a cursory inspection shows NO problems so far.
