Since my last post was locked because y’all went overboard over ammo

That was because of one moron posting FUD that would get someone hurt, he won't be back here. I suspected the problem was the clips. I had the same problem in my 06 and .308 Garands. Work flawless with USGI issued clips, but anything else were nothing but problems. I have yet to figure out why, they're all the same dimensions. Glad you got it figured out, and it was a cheap fix!

Wonder what the life span is for them clips .

Wonder that myself, some of the ones from WWII have the makers logo and date on them. The ones that work the best in my rifles, were well used before I got them.

By my standards, it's a good start.

I spent a whole overtime check when the CMP had the last of the LC Match ammo up for sale. Buddy and I went in halves on it, and we may have bought everything they had left! When milsurp ammo was dirt cheap, I loaded up with everything I could afford. No idea what the round count is now, but I know there's at least a half ton, if not more stacked up. Ammo hoarder? Why yes, yes I am.

The Korean ammo I got all went bang with no problems, but I've never seen any ammo that corrosive before. If you left the gun overnight without cleaning it, it was a mess in the morning.

Jim, the KA ammo was the one, even the inside of that empty brass would go green! I don't know what they used for primers, but it made the Berdan primed combloc stuff look clean. The Greek wasn't bad, or the Danish stuff, but I seem to remember there was a lot number of Dane '06, that a random round would bend an op rod.

Cmp forums had a list of the Korean 06 ammo that I can't find now. KA was corrosive, shot consistant. PS headstamp non corrosive, multiple reports of split cases.
