Radway Green?

BigSwede · December 01, 2008, 22:25

Just checking, AFAIK this is your basic Radway Green ball ammo...I would appreciate any heads up if I am wrong and this is something more exotic (steel core? I dunno...) before I put it up for sale.

In looking at sale prices, I see SA going for over $0.70/round...and Hirt (which I know little about) not going for $0.675/round...gotta think RG is in that ballpark at least. I can find very little RG going anywhere really, must be rare or highly coveted

For some reason I cannot get the pic to post, so here's a link:

RG is very Nice 7.62x51NATO ammo. Not "rare" by any means as millions of rounds were surplused off a few years ago......just all safe and sound in someones gun closet now.

Yours is standard Ball ammo as indicated by the full black circle on the case.

Price is what ever someone will pay for good surplus ammo these days....I can't see how a buyer would go over 50cents/rd for 20+year old surplus ammo. But times have sure changed!

the '84 I have is lead core/copper jacket. It is on par with Hirt and Aussie Surplus as far as accuracy, for me. Good Stuff but the prices for surplus make me shake my head.

Thanks guys.
