762X54R in a 46 grain
No that's not a typo I said 46 grain. Anybody have any experience with this round?

That ammo is discussed here. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1385

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re:
I bought a single box of this ammo awhile back for the low recoil so I would have it in case the opportunity came up for my wife to try the Mosin. I found the single box on Gunbroker but if it's available in bulk here I want to buy some more while it's available.

Re: 762X54R in a 46 grain
I have an ammo can stuffed full of Swedish gallery loads, but so far no Mosin ones have come my way.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: 762X54R in a 46 grain
would or would not 46 grain make a mess in you mosin or any other rife other than small cal. made for it??? just a ? popgun
Re: 762X54R in a 46 grain
If you mean a "mess" as in needing to be cleaned as with any other 'corrosive' ammunition, the answer is yes. You are not shooting a sub caliber round but a lighter than 'normal' projectile
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Re: 762X54R in a 46 grain
popgun, the 46gr ammo(as mentioned in the other thread about it) is milsurp training ammo. The casing and powder characteristics are the same as regular milsurp 7.62x54r. It is fairly accurate out to 100M or so and has very little recoil. Made to help recruits get used to firing the rifle correctly before moving up to the real stuff and having to deal with recoil. It was also cheaper to produce. Should be treated as any other corrosive ammo would be.
Somebody else had this stuff not too long ago(last I checked). I think it was Widener's and Sportsman's Guide. Maybe Dan's Ammo as well.

Re: 762X54R in a 46 grain
I got 108 rounds of this ammo for Xmas, and I got to shoot some of it yesterday. It works just fine in the 91/30 and it was the first ammo I put through mu "new" gun. It worked just fine, so I have no complaints. I would buy this again.

$120 for 504 rounds?????? I paid less than that 5 years ago for over 1,000 rounds. But in today's prices that's not too bad I guess.WeldonHunter wrote:SGAmmo has it. http://www.sgammo.com/catalog/rifle-ammunition/762x54r

Yeah Ron but you get a nifty .50 Cal ammo can too. That and he seems to be the only one selling this stuff that I've found.Rongoman wrote:$120 for 504 rounds??????

Re: 762X54R in a 46 grain
There is that. If I didn't already have some I would be moving hard on that deal. It's great ammo. And just think; In five more years it will cost you half again as much. Buy it cheap, stack it deep.WeldonHunter wrote:Yeah Ron but you get a nifty .50 Cal ammo can too.
