What kind of 7.62 ammo is this?

Can someone tell me what kind of 7.62 ammo this is?

Looks like 7.62X54R to me but not positive.

It is 54R.

the 440rds is the clincher   good stuff...corrosive though if im not mistaken.

To be exact it is 7.62x54r, light ball steel core.  The silver paint also indicates this and the rounds may, or may not have silver tipped (paint) bullets.  The ammo was manufactured in 1972 at the Soviet Frunze factory.

Thanks for all the replies.  I figured someone here would know.

Man we shot a metric ton of this stuff back in the day...

If you shoot it - make sure you clean in short order.

Probably still good stuff. It usually lasts a long time sealed like that.

Looks like a couple cans I have floating around in the stash. Not sure mine is silver tip though

Looks like a little rust on the bottom left corner of the can top that's visible.  Appears to be a couple more cans stacked to the right in the picture.  If the can with the rust has not compromised the integrity of the seal the ammo should still be good but you may want to consider opening, inspecting and repackaging if you plan on storing this for any length of time.

Another solution is if you need help turning the contents of this can into smoke, noise and tons of fun I have several things that will eat this ammo and be glad to hook you up.

Sounds like fun but I do not own this ammo.  Found it in an auction and needed to know what it was before I bid on it.  Since I do not have anything that shoots 7.62x54r I will not be bidding on it.(unless it goes stupid cheap)
