I have been given a quantity of 7.62x51mm Nato ammo, headstamped "T Z 80" and 81. Anybody know the nation of origin? And if it might be corrisive primed?

Thanks.

Sounds like Israeli ammo, I am almost certain it is corrosive.

44 AMP, a great place to ask about all manner of cartridge ID issues is the IAA forum:
