Couple of stores in the area have the 7.62 x 54R ammo supposedly from Russia, noncorrosive. White box, 20 rounds in brown paper inside the box. No company name or address on the box. Priced $16.95 at one store, $11.95 at the other and was at $9.95 for one week at the lower priced source. I bought one box to inspect and compare.
With tax, the cost each ranges from .905 down to .53 at those box prices.
Makes surplus ammo look like a bargain.
Cartridge is copper colored, but casing is magnetic as is the bullet jacket. Bullet color bright copper all over.
Neat stamping on the head on the flat surrounding the primer. 7.62x54R LVE 11. No marking on the outer rim.
