dutch surplus ammo
28/02/13 09:33 PM

I have got 40 rounds of 6,5x53R dutch made pre ww 2 surplus ammo for testing my british Mannlicher. the rifle is now in the hands of the gunmaker for restauration but having a bad bore so I will see what happen with factory ammo before starting reloading.
the ammo seems to be made in 1935 by the a dutch arsenal in Breda ,iirc.
it looks perfect outside and cost my little more than clips alone today so it was a good business. anyone here shoot ammo similar like this last year's? will the primer work? I suspect it have corrosive primers but this is not a problem if you know it.
ammo and clips had have a thin layer of fat, is this common with dutch military ammo? dutch east and west india had a very humid climate so fat could be there to prevent oxidise.
