Looking at getting some Surplus 7.62 x 54r ammo

[_JT_]

Ok, you C&R guys were busting my chops about firing Silver Bear ammo thru my Mosin. What type of surplus would you pro's recommend? I've been looking at the Czech surplus from Aimsurplus, or Bulgarian cans from Centerfiresystems(their price just went up 40bucks?.
Or Bulgarian from classicarms.us


Help a noobie out. I guess i'm looking for ammo to plink, and for zombie defense. Not to mention maybe taking some of it hunting, but i've heard fmj's are useless for deer unless you want to track something for an hour. Maybe the lightball is better? Anyway, i have a 1939 91/30.

Don't forget to check the prices out at www.jgsales.com
I paid $79.00 a can last month, the bulgarian is upto $82-84 for 440 rds.

My Mosin loves Czech silver tip in the blue box ammo. I would pay a dollar or two a box extra for it myself.

sounds good Novus, i had heard some good things about the czech stuff. Appreciate the pm JSW but the czech stuff is roughly the same price. I'm gonna give ordering it a whirl.

I ordered a few boxes of the czech surplus from AIM and it just arrived yesterday. I haven't fired any yet, but it looks good and the price was great for the small quantities I wanted to buy it in.

They are currently backed up on shipping right now, but it was only about an extra week I had to wait.

Czech is great ammo. Clean and accurate. I recommend it.

Does anyone know if the Czech stuff is corrosive?

 

[Bigdtc]

The Czech ammo is Berdan primed and is supposed to be "mildly" corrosive. I clean my Mosin with Windex then Hoppes #9 then oil lightly after I get home from shooting. I usually shoot 20 rounds or more and the barrel comes clean with ease. It shoots better groups than the Bulgarian Heavy ball ammo and the Bulgarian is much dirtier after shooting.

anything that smells like good ol communism when you open the can will be just fine for your Mosin. Fired some Hungarian, Czech and Russian through mine today. Its all corrosive and all requires the same preventative measures to keep it from rusting. If you find any really good deals drop me a line I can always use more

after shipping, ended up getting 440rds for 102 bucks
My wife is really starting to hate me.
