Can anyone Identify these ?
As title says trying to identify these 7.62x54r Rounds as I sadly can't speak Russian. Headstampe is 188/77
Can anyone Identify these ?
Lol this is the blast from the past. Looks like this was manufactured during the soviet era.
The transition is SPORTING RIFLE AMMUNITION 7.62mm
Second pic has the quality stamp on upper left corner and the bottom is the performance data. Bullet Speed 750 meters/sec, weight 13.05 grams. Not sure of the head stamp but it prob manufactured year is 1977 I could be wrong on the head stamp though.

188 is Novosibirsk factory I think.

Re: Can anyone Identify these ?
Yup, Novosibirsk. I have a box of that that I picked up at a gun show shortly after I got my first couple Mosins. Ironically, though labelled as "Sporting Ammunition", it is FMJ, which is illegal for hunting in most states.

dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an
equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
