The word around the camp fire is that it is: back up the truck good!
Take a moment and remember the kind of man you chose to be when you got yourself out of that last scrape. Maybe you prayed that you would be different if he delivered you. Maybe you found hope here you thought unreachable. Do not concern yourself with anything 'els THAT. Make the mission first.

I had some of this.

I found it very good stuff.

No problems and if I remember, boxer primed.

Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Actually it has Swedish markings. Does that change anything?

Ask this guy about Swedish ammunition:

Also from here:

"SM: AB Svenska Metallverken, Stockholm, Sweden"

Hmmm, what's the caliber?

Yes, you did say it was 308. 
How's it packaged, in plastic sleeves, chipboard boxes?  Swede box graphics & text are pretty distinctive.

Enjoy.  It doesn't have 'em all but it's got a lot of 'em.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Bueno, sounds like Swedish export ammo to... some Spanish-speaking parte del globo.
