7.62x54R Heavy Ball

**Slater** · 11-04-2012 10:24 AM

Picked this up the other day. After some research, the date of manufacture turns out to be 1952. Is there any concern about shooting this 182-grain stuff in a Mosin-Nagant?

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.

No safety concerns, but your shoulder may disagree.

It does kick more.

I've been shooting Bulgarian brass cased heavy ball from 1955 in my M39 Finn Mosin for several years, great ammo, pretty accurate. (Don't shoot it in a Romanian or other semiauto PSL rifle.)
