I beg to differ. There are horror stories about the last batch of Indian Surplus to hit the US but this batch currently on the market has been OK in my stuff (first hand experience). A friend bought a bunch from Wideners for $5.50 per 20 rd bx and we shot a few hundred rounds this weekend. All went bang and though the accuracy was slightly behind the South African and pretty far behind the Santa Barbera we compared it to it was still decent stuff. At 300 yds the Santa Barbra laid down approx. 3.5" groups, the SA approx 5" groups while the Indian printed approx 7-8" groups. I have a line on a limited supply of Santa Barbera .308 surplus if anyone is interested in it, it's very well regarded among surplus .308 and I can get it for $7 per 20rd box if anyone wants some. I love the stuff (and so does my DPMS .308) and already have a decent stash for myself!
