I'm talking about the stuff on the shelf at Walmart, in retail
market boxes with the "NATO" advertising--not gubmint contracted goods.
Who is it, Winchester, that has a retail line of 9mm ball labeled "NATO"?
It would be interesting to find out if the primers are lacquered, and
slugs sealed. Those are basic "NATO" requirements (as "waterproofing"),
but rarely used on civilian retail ammo.
