Hey guys, can you help me identify some 7.62x51 I stumbled across? It's in a plain white box, labeled ".308" and the headstamp ready "7.62" and "H1." Any idea what this is? My concerns are:

#1, is it safe to shoot?

#2, will it function in my M-14

#3, is it reloadable?

I found this thread on EOTAC which was posted back in 2004. The pictures posted by suasponte is exactly what I have.

I think it's either Port, or Singapore.

Found this online, from a GB ad.  It matches the labeling on the picture you referenced in that other thread.

Appears from TFL that it is Port...
