Milsurp boys, anybody use this particular ammo. Aim has a decent price on it, and I am going to need some ammo once I pick up my Mosin from Richie, so I'm wondering if I should buy this.

 

Thanks

M

its decent stuff.

where else should I be looking for ammo BTW.

that should be good ammo. I purchased the czech ammo they had before this ammo, i like this ammo better may not be corrosive, it does not say either way but the czech ammo i purchased said it was so i assume this may not be.

I have never used it personally but I have a friend that has and it is good stuff. Just to be safe, I would treat it as corrosive unless you are positive that it is not.

I'm pretty sure all surplus ammo is corrosive so you tend to just treat it that way.

 

I might have to order a 440 rd case and see how it is. Its only 90 bucks hmpf

It's fine. I bought three cans and use it in my Mosin.

Thanks Mauser.

 

Does aim have the best prices that you have found??

 

Also do you reload this caliper, if so, where are you getting brass from?

Thanks Mauser.

B dude - it's a Farking B not P.

 

Here's a hint for you, spell it the European way Calibre that way it'll stick in your P brain

 

2nd - Sportsmansguide.com has 7.62x54R for similar or less than Aim. Bulgarian and Hungarian - not Russian, at least not right now.

Thanks Mauser.

Yes for the most part. It's good quality ammo but corrosive.

 

I do reload for this caliber too. I pick up brass from other gun forums and also the brass trader forum.

Dan I think I'm just going to purposely keep spelling it wrong now haha j/k One of these day I'll get it right, I promise!

 

And I will have to order something soon, I'm gonna need me some ammo

I like the stuff, not that bad. But just remember that some rifles like different ammo. My pe sniper loves the hungarian stuff, but my pu hates it. My PU loves the russian stuff, but the PE hates. It is just a matter of trial and error until you find what your particular rifle likes.

Sportsmans guide has Bulgarian surplus a bit cheaper, surplus gun's and ammo are funny some rifles prefer different brands or countries over others. My M-44 runs excellent on Russian light and Polish heavy ball. The 91/30's and PSL do better with the Bulgarian light ball over anything else. My advise is to grab a can or small amount of each, see what your specific rifle likes and then stock up after that.
