AIM Ammo Russian or Bulgarian

[jduff8505]

I found some 7.62X54R at AIM Surplus. They have Russian and Bulgarian available. My question is what is the difference? They are both 147gn copper washed steel cased. No indication of corrosive primers in either brand description, and they both are the same price. Thanks for any info guys.

They are both corrosive. If I have a choice I usually get the Russian.

Bulgarian gets some hype in some calibers. x54r doesn't seem to be one of them. Buy whats cheapest, usually the russian. copes is often the best price, especially if they have a rusty can deal.

Go to http://7.62x54r.net/ , half way down is the Ammunition and Shooting topics where they identify and evaluate all the 7.62X54r ammo.

I frequent the C&R forum on SKSboards and they rave about the Bulgarian 54r

I'd probably choose the russian if it was me. They are both corrosive primed.

Hey, I'm on that board also, same name.

I got in 880 rounds of Bulgy for my Vepr. Good Stuff.
