Chinese 7.62x54R (lots of pics!!!)

I stood on the can with both feet, put a pry bar through the handle, and pulled up with both hands while standing up.

Looks UZBEKISTAN ammo crates to me not Chinese if that helps

Trade ex advertised it as PRC/copper washed and we use it in both the Mosin Nagant 91/30's and the sniper version.With the PU scope I was able to get a 1/2" 3 shot group Two in the same hole and one a hair low. Hex iron sighted Czarist guns shot between 1.25"- 3"

This arrived today. Chinese 7.62x54R from Canada Ammo.

The case markings are non-typical. Note the conventional Chinese markings on the bottom line and the different style stenciling above that. I wonder if it was marked that way for a customer by the Chinese or it's found it's way to us through eastern Europe and been re-marked along the way. According to the sticker I pulled off, it was imported by Marstar. One of the wood cases was in terrible condition with what looked like plaster applied into some of the cracks.

I'm quite happy with this purchase and can't wait to try some out.

Thanks to Canada Ammo!

Anyone recognize the language in the top 3 lines of markings?

The spams cans have a fair bit of oxidation and the pull handles are rusty.

No sign of oxidation or moisture on the inside of the cans and the ammo is bright and shiny.

A .50 BMG can will hold 30 packets perfectly, for a total of 600 rounds to a can.
