7.62x54R Mosin surplus ammo options

[ssblair]

Has anybody compared the vintages and sources of the surplus Mosin ammo? I'm wondering if Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Czech, or whichever--how they rate compared to each other?

In my experience the Yugo heavy ball and Czech silvertip are the best surplus. Availability of the Yugo is spotty at best, the Czech only on the secondary market.

alot of it seems to depend on the rifle, but that said Ive never had an issue with any surplus 54r.

What I have been shooting is 148gr, not sure if it is Russian or Bulgarian. Works great, just as well as commercial ammo.

At 100+ yrds with iron sights, I can't say that I've noticed any difference between surplus ammo.
