The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

What do the symbols and numbers stand for atop the 440 rd 7.62 x 54R spam type ammo cans ?

Look at the accompanying chart on the above attachment. This MAY explain why so many new shooters talk about being high at 100 yards or less. If you see constant high right hits, think about your ammo.....

Thank You finloq for the link to the info I was looking for ! It's everything anyone would want to know about 7.62 x 54R Russian ammo !!

And more! Thanks for putting up that great link finloq8-)

http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinAmmoID01.htm Check out how your rounds act AFTER they leave the barrel.....interesting to say the least and VERY important.

Did any of you see the guy on Ebay selling the wooden ammo crates, empty of course, for 30 bucks each?

I'll add this. Hope it helps.

That's awesome detailed information - I love it!!
Unfortunately, now I'm going to want a spam can with each of those abbreviations. There's no end to the effects of this darned mosinitis.

You got it bad my friend. You aren't alone!

Man I feel like going right out in the garage and opening up a can right now.

I don't shoot corrosive but with the deals I've been seeing on them with free shipping I've been tempted to buy some to add to the hoard

I just finished a can earlier this week im due to open another one, love that smell

No sense buying it if you refuse to shoot it. If you need paper weights you can get bricks for cheap. Now if you were to cross over and try some milsurp, that would be different.

I have, and will continue to buy more than I could ever reasonably shoot.

I'm a bit out-of-consensus on this subject, but I believe it could one day look like a great investment if King Obama bans the import of foreign "Military Ammo" via executive order in late 2015.

Even if that doesnt happen, and even if Russia decides to one-day break it's voluntary ban on importing 7.62x54r to America, I dont think the downside loss would be all that dramatic.
