The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Need help with an ammo question- 7.62x51

I have a case of Lithuanian ammo, and the markings on the packages state 180-GGG-04. I am trying to figure out what grain bullets are used for these rounds. Can anyone help with this? Here are the notes from the manufacturers website:

Cartridges cal. 7.62×51 mm NATO Ball

GGG cal. 7.62×51 mm NATO Ball rounds are being manufactured according to the requirements of STANAG 2310.

In 2005 cartridges were successfully qualified at NATO European Regional Test Center (ERTC) in UK and GGG gained right to mark its cartridges with NATO interchangeability sign.

GP11 is a marking of standard cal. GGG 7.62×51 mm cartridges produced in accordance to the requirements for M80.

Cartridges may be also manufactured according to the special requirements of the customer (high pressure, etc.).

The marking of a packing is standard or could be prepared according to the requirements of the customer. Cartridges may be linked, clipped or delivered in bulk packing.

Products have confirmed NSN (NATO Stock Number).

NATO Design number is AC/116-33A.
