    Your rifle might prefer one over the other, both or neither. All 7.62x54r ball SHOULD be made to the same specs, so it is a matter of finding what your rifle prefers.

    Personally, I'd take the Chinese over the Bulgarian as Chinese has worked great in all my Mosins I've run it through and I have no experience with Bulgarian ammo.

    Try a little of each before you buy a crate perhaps?

    Unfortunately can't do that, it comes by the case only, I' pretty happy with the Bulgarian and $30 is $30, but I keep reading good things about the Chinese ammo.
