Venezuelan .308, No Headstamp?

HangFire · December 17, 2000, 11:35

Picked up a 200 rd bag of "Venezuelan .308 with no headstamp manufactured for the CIA" at a local gunshop for $30.00. Don't particularly care who it was made for only if it shoots good. The primer waterproofing is green so it leads me to beleive it may have been made by CAVIM but I'm not sure. I'm going to take some of this out and chronograph it through one of my FALs soon, but before I did that I figured I would ask around and see if anybody had any experience with this stuff first. The price is great and if it shoots good I'll buy a few more bags ASAP. TIA

My Cavim says "CAVIM 88".

Not sure what you've got there.
