This 7.62x51 ammunition comes from IMI Systems, Israel’s state-owned ammo manufacturer which was founded in 1933. It’s naturally fit for service in all 7.62x51 rifles, but because it shares nearly identical dimensions with the 308 Win and is only loaded to a slightly lower chamber pressure it is also compatible with 308 rifles.
This round’s bullet is all about accuracy. The open tip match begins its life as a hollow copper jacket. That shell is filled with molten lead so its core can become form-fitted. The end product is a bullet with virtually perfect rotational stability, which alongside its sleek overall profile gives it exceptional accuracy.
This round’s 175 grain OTM bullet technically has a hollow point. Do not expect terminal expansion if you use it for hunting, however. The OTM’s nose cavity doesn’t serve a function once its core has already formed, so the bullet’s terminal ballistics are essentially the same as an FMJ’s.
IMI made this ammo for the commercial market recently – it has not been sitting in an IDF locker for ages. This ammo’s new brass cases are visibly annealed, an indication that they were strengthened via heat treatment without getting a cosmetic polish afterward, and its non-corrosive match Boxer primers indicate that it is reloadable.
