Just picked some of this up. Assuming it is WW2 ammo production since case is stamped 1944. 70 round bandoleer, 10 rounds in each pouch on stripper clips.

Turkish cupro-nickel jacketed rounds. Usually loaded very hot....kicks pretty hard but accurate

I was surprised at the condition considering the age.

I bought a case of that from Century around 18 years ago. Mine was 1942 Vintage and you are right about it being hot, it kicks like a pissed off bull. I seem to recall the price came out to about .03 a round, Sure would like to see those prices again.

Wish they were still that price, but they were running significantly higher than .03 a round due to the devaluation of the dollar when I purchased mine.
