What 7.62X39 ammo do I have

[CM1021]

Picked this up today. I believe it is just Russian Surplus FMJ. It's brass cased and annealed. Probably 124gr? Is this corrosive and is it berdan or boxer primed? Any information you guys can give me I appreciate.

Sending a pic of the box to someone who may be able to translate. We'll what kind of info the box has printed on it.

It's Yugoslavian surplus, corrosive.

 

Great ammo, but clean up after shooting to avoid rust.

Yugo surplus. Should be good stuff. Yes. It is corrosive.

 

It is made by PPU.

 

Was there more? Where'd ya get it?

This.  It's a 1260 round case of Yugo M67 brass-cased ammo.  Very good stuff but it is corrosive and the brass is not reloadable (unless you really like to decap berdan primers).

Yugo m67. It's berdan primed and corrosive, but it's good stuff. Those crates used to sell for $150 or so, now they are $350 plus. Do you have a bead on anymore of it? I only have a case and a half left.

Ditto on that - if you dont like corrosive ammo i'll be happy to swap you non-corrosive wolf for it :)

My FFL is selling a 1260 tin for me on GB. The auction ends tomorrow at 8:00 pm. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=390452628

WOW!! That is a lot more than I paid for it. It was the only case the guy had. he had shot two boxes out of it. I'm thinking I'm just going to put it away for a rainy day and shoot wolf and Tula in my VZ58.

Great stuff and great find.

 

If you got a deal, which you indicated you did, Congrats! :pleased:

That's a good plan. I've put back Golden Tiger and M67 for a rainy day and I blast Wolf and Bear ammo all the time!

[CM1021]

Yeah I might shoot a box of it just to get a feel for the accuracy. He popped open a box to show me what it looked like so that leaves me with 1215 unopened rounds lol. Should I leave this stuff in the crate or should I pull it out and put it in ammo cans with dessicant?

[austin7.62]

I put my opened portion in ammo cans. It's nice that you don't have to worry about the cases rusting as easily as polymer coated steel case ammo. I kept the crate to store various AK and AR mags in.
