digi-shots Posted September 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2020 Can someone help date this box of “Match” 7.62 ammo? The box is sealed with a lot number of 60-20. In looking online, I found similar boxes... some printed XM118 and others like mine printed M118 - what is the difference? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBomb Posted September 2, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 2, 2020 My guess is that it has a similar date as this listing. I've had a few of these boxes and they were all from the 70's. HTH's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkALSE Posted September 2, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 2, 2020 Were the boxes marked XM-118 these marked boxes as Match Ammo? or was the XM-118 in standard brown non Match marked boxes of ammo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccyooper Posted September 2, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 2, 2020 Lot 60 started in Aug 78 so your ammo was probably dated late 78 or early 79 prior to the new bullets used for the matches in 1980. A shooter more familiar with the NM’s could probably tell you exactly when it was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digi-shots Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted September 2, 2020 Thanks, I did a little more searching and found a photo online of lot 60-13 and it was dated 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
