ammo for svt40

**finnigan74** · 01-08-2010 08:55 PM

I was wondering if 180 grain prvi partizan soft points would function properly in a svt40? Or should I look for something in 150 grain?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Haven't tried 'em. If they feed, just adjust the gas system for best function- start small and work up! (Don't forget the wrench, I did that last time and shot a straight pull all day.)

SVT40 used heavy and light ball issue ammo. 147--176 parameter. CORROSIVE. KEEP IT CLEAN, LUBRICATED/adjusted. I personally use 147 FMJBT non corrosive Easier on gun and me. Gary

Would using the 180 grain round cause excessive wear on the gun? I was'nt planning on using an excessive amount, maybe 1-2 hundred rounds until I can find some 150 grain.

Its about the same weight as Soviet icon

heavy ball (yellow tip), so technically, its probably OK. Its really more about burn rates and gas port pressure.
