"Value-priced *pop* for the high-volume shooter! 1970s-production Pakistani Ammo loaded to exacting standards.
Brass-cased, berdan-primed, and non-corrosive. Non-reloadable. Muzzle velocity is 1,150 f.p.s. Muzzle energy is 364 ft.-lbs. 50 rds. / box, 2,500 rds. / sealed tin."
This is something I just don't get. Brass cased, Berdan-primed. What's the use of doing that with pistol ammo? Selling brass at scrap prices? Pakistan and non-corrosive just don't seem to go together in the same sentence...know what I mean? Heck...over there, children under ten years old are making ammo as well as firearms. A little desert sand with that powder? How many commercial ammo factories did Pakistan actually have in the 1970's?
What are you going to shoot this ammo in specifically? Yeah.....I have a lot of surplus ammo in 7.62x39 to run through the AK. Heck....the AK was built on that stuff, and mine has a chrome lined bore as well, and I clean it with the possibility of corrosive ammo in mind. A good deal is a good deal, and who am I to talk somebody out of a good deal? "Value priced for the high volume shooter". What's an acceptable FTF percentage in that equation? 2%, 5%, 10%? Short term, it all looks good these days. Why wouldn't it? In the long run.....well, the test of time will tell. Get a picture of the box top, the name of the factory that produced it, the year of manufacture, and we can all research it on the internet and find out what for. I'm just sayin'. If the price seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
