i saw a crate of ammunition the other day and it had a strange warning on it. i hope someone here can help me out. the warning is as follows...."South African ammunition for army use only. Not to be used in Browning Machine guns."

i know that there is some concern by some shooters that ammunition suitable for Vickers, or other, machine guns is not safe to shoot in a standard infantry rifle. apparently this concern is not valid for use in a P-14 rifle. that's my understanding.

my question is....apart from the concern that some infantryman might grab the wrong crate of ammunition and mistakenly use it in his infantry rifle, why is this ammunition singling out the Browning machine gun and ignoring all others. i appreciate comments. thanks.
