That's tempting
I don't have the link handy, but wasn't there a recent case of folks blowing up their Garands with this recently arriving turkish surplus stuff?
There's ALWAYS reports of kabooms from Turkish ANY caliber. It's an Islamic nation, their idea of QA/QC is "Inshallah."
If somebody's so hard-up for beans that they're willing to up their chances of a blowout by a couple-three orders of magnitude....probably MORE, now that demand has done what it's done in terms of quality...
...then, caveat FFS emptor, I'll be on the other end of the firing line thataway ---------------->
The (in)famous nuclear 8x57 loads that came in ~15 years ago or so were enough to convince me the savings juice wasn’t worth the Turk squeeze.
Not only was that stuff loaded to MG pressures, it was notorious for hang fires.

Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy / Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Anybody who uses durka nation ammo should feel a moral obligation to brief everybody present and provide them with an opportunity to clear the area beforehand.
I mean, our black-bag bubbas used to run ops to bol-bean adversary ammo; it takes a special kind of stupid titular ally to find a way to do it to themselves. We don't maintain relations with them because they *do stuff well*, but because they're strategically located.
Food for thought, only...we're still a free-market economy, for now.
That's $0.90 a round for non-precision ammo that is reportedly susceptible to KAAABOOMS. Why not go with this match grade stuff for a $1.50 a round:

Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
And while wandering around in there, I found .40 S&W 165-grain FMJ Blazer Brass for $452/k delivered.
LOL! I'll remember that one.

I just popped for another thousand rounds. 😎
Yep, I grabbed a case of the 124 yesterday, and I've already got a tracking #. I've never used Norma before, but I'm confident it's top shelf.
