This video provides a comprehensive evaluation of Ethiopian .30-06 ammunition imported by Century International Arms. The analysis covers the ammunition's appearance and packaging, live-fire testing including velocity and consistency, and a teardown to assess bullet weight consistency. The ammunition is believed to be produced at the Emperor Haile Selassie Ammunition Factory in Addis Ababa, with a headstamp of 1977. It's intended for American surplus rifles and machine guns like the M1 Garand, M1917, M1919, and M1918A2 BAR. The testing revealed higher than expected velocities, with a flat-base, gilding metal over steel jacketed bullet construction that attracts a magnet. The video notes the ammunition is advertised as corrosive.
