I purchased 500 rounds of 7.62x51 stamped TZ80. From what I’ve read online it is Israeli and there were some bad batches of brass mixed into that production lot. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff?

Send them to me for testing

I'll shoot them out of an Arisaka ( supposedsed a very strong action ) and report back

Might take a couple of weeks


j/k on the testing part


Search by headstamp. Markings on the base of cartridge

PM TexasFlyboy or Agent19 about this, betting they'll know the answer

It is made by IMI. One of their Head stamps.

Here is a good listing of head stamps.
