7.62 54R ammo

[MoBoost]

I've seen simply amazing results with Brown Bear Match at the benchrest competition - the weird part is that the bullet is .3085 - go figure.

Checked on the Aim site and if you order 2 tins the price is 72.95 each, shipping UPS ground is about 32.00. After looking at the different ammo for sale on the web I believe the Brigadoons ammo is Romanian, but I could be wrong. Next time i will pay better attention.

just buy the surplus stuff from aim surplus.
440 rounds for $80 plus freight.

Did anyone notice that they called the Romanain steel core silver tip full metal jacketed bullet and the Russin-light ball steel bullet? hmmmm dosent that mean no-no for dingers at the range?

I BELIEVE that steel-core Soviet surplus uses a mild steel that shouldn't hurt steel targets, but don't hold me responsible if you try it and mess up your nice silhouettes.

All but the AP rounds should be mild steel, but I wouldn't be surprised if they would still ding up a steel target. They're still going to be way harder than lead.

Soviet milsurp goes through 1/2" steel @ 300 yards like butter.

Wow brigadoons charges $208 for a tin of 7.62! You can get a can for the gun show like I did for $75 and save some money.

www.ammoman.com has 440 round cans for 129 shipped

Cheaper than Dirt has great pricing on the 440 rnd cans. For folks in OK its typically one day shipping from CTD even if you just get the cheapest freight possible. Would definitely check them out. Their ammo IS corrosive but most of the cheap milsurp 7.62x54R is that I have found. They have other options too, more modern stuff that's reloadable but obviously its more $$$.

Real Russian 7.62x54R. For Russians, by Russians. Get it. Shoot it. Love it.
