i bought this ammo at a gun show in jackson mississippi. don't know what kind it is. can anyone identify it for me. the headstamp on the top says "7.62 x 51" under the primer it says "13 FLB 62 ". Any ideas on what kind it is? I do know its 147gr FMJ
 
Re: 7.62x51

I have some Argentine ball with the 3 indent primer crimp, and had a green primer sealant.
Outstanding 1-1.5 MOA accuracy,(for ball), in a couple M1A'a and a garand with a 7.62 barrel. If it's the same stuff, you've made a good purchase.The ammo that I bought was dirty on the outside as well.
I've bought Hirtenberger ball and gotten the standard 3 MOA, and it was clean and shiny, so don't think cause it isn't "nice" that it won't shoot.
