It was the worst crap I've ever shot, and I can shoot well enough to know the difference, anything from 9mm to 7.62. DA ammunition circa 1968 was the best in the world, better than US National Match (and I've been told so by Yanks in the competition circuit). As an example, 8" groups with 9mm at 25 yards, when I could do two inches with a sixty year-old Remington-Rand .45? I can do minute-of-angle at 200m with 7.62, but no bloody way with IVI. Thank you, Mr. Trudeau. And now our ammunition stocks are going to be diverted?
