was curious about this ammo cheap in my neck of the woods.

.303 inch
1967 mk7
pof
c.i.a. (p)

32 rds to a box.

p.a.8 (another marking on box).

upon checking think it was made in pakistan.

ammo looks super clean with nice casing and box is undamaged.

headstamp 67 7 pof

Is this stuff any good to shoot out of an enfield or is it junk.
Is this stuff corrosive?

Was wondering if anyone here had any experience.

Try to find the greek stuff that was pretty good but supply is not to be found.

Also tried the pmc that was ok a little lighter than the greek stuff.

thanks in advace.

Welcome to the board, brid!

I believe you are correct. And yes, the Pakistani stuff is corrosive. Typically, it's pretty dirty, but sounds like yours isn't too bad. Unfortunately that 1980's production Greek .303 seems to have dried up. I can't find any locally either. :( On the bright side, the South African sold by AIM online is pretty good.

Welcome Bird to the forums. The POF is POS, as in piece of sh#t. Corrosive, smoky and the primers are bad about being duds or hangfires. Avoid at all cost. You'd be better off with buying WWII eara British cordite rounds that Century sells.

However the best thing to get is to order the South African .303 that NC_Rebel mentions. $7.50 a box from www.aimsurplus.com shipping not included.
