Let's play guess the ammo

[cleanneon98]

I got this case a long while back. No idea where it's from or what it is. Head stamp only at 12 o clock and reads "88"

Any ideas? Label inside reads in Romanian I believe but I can't link it to anything. Even the master list on 7.62.net doesn't have it

[54r man]

It's 7.62x54r, maybe romanian?cant find it?http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinAmmoIDII.htm

I know what caliber it is because I shoot the stuff. I just don't know about the ammo. Like how many grs it is, etc.

If you reload, pull the bullet and weigh it,

Man you're good. Any other info on it? Is it any good? Problematic?

Bulgarian Light Ball

No arsenal 10 stamp on the headstamp? Or Bulgarian lion?

[cleanneon98]

Single headstamp only, I checked a bunch of rounds in a few different packs and they're all the same. Could it be Romanian? There was a warning sheet of sorts on the lid when it was opened which translated to Romanian. I tried to google some of the words on the front of the crate but no luck

The Naftenata stamp on the crate translates into Bulgarian & or Slovenian/Hungarian. Also, I recall having some of this on hand with the 88 stamp on it. The only other 88 headstamp ammo out there is Chinese IIRC.

Light Ball 147grn ammo & it's not bad stuff. If anyone out there has a better answer have at it.

ok, if I had to guess, I'm going to go with: Something that would look better in my ammo box?
