Can't imagine it is given the Chinese(?) characters and the "7.62".
It's probably 7.62x39 or 7.62x54R.
It's Chinese 7.62x39. Hope you didn't pay a .303 price for it.
I didnt buy it, he wants $125 for the tin. Not even sure how many rounds are in the tin, anyone know? The tin is 6" wide, 4" tall and 14" long

I have seen 303 British listed as Kal 7,7 m/m (Finland)
That would seem to be a good price. I have tins of Chinese 7.62x39 that, IIRC, are the same size and they have 700 or 750 rounds each in 20 round paper-wrapped packages.Quote:

1. That might be lead-cored, not all PRC BALL ammo has a steel core.
2. It is a mild steel core to save lead, NOT a penetrator.
Is this the same stuff? I started looking at auctions on gunbroker to see if I could find any similar cans. I have also received some emails telling me that it is mosin ammo 7.62x54. I emailed the seller and asked for the tin dimensions. I have a couple of mosins but nothing to shoot the 7.62x39. Is that auction price the norm, or is it to high
Thanks
