Anybody use it for hunting,i have never bought or used any and don't know anyone that has.Looks like it's made in South Korea and can't find many reviews on it.

I can tell you from experience it is not downloaded like some American military ammunition! Now if only I had a 6.5X55! Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want!

You want to part with that ammo? You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it. PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

The 6.5x55 140 gr spitzers were fine in my Swede 96 but in my m70 fwt push feed I needed to seat the bullets a little farther it had a shorter throat than the 96.

I ended up buying 1,00 rounds of the PMC 7.62 NATO load for that rifle. It was an honest 1.5 MOA load and the brass lasted forever. I'd buy it again without hesitation.
