This is original Russian military 7.62x54R 148gr. Boattail spitzer tip steel core ammo. This ammo was maunfactured in the 1980's at factory codes "188 and 60" in Russia. It was sealed in a 440 round sealed tin, until I opened it today to take pictures of the ammo. So it is like factory fresh ammo. This ammo contains a boattail spitzer tip steel core FMJ bullet. Spitzer Tip means that there is a hollow cavity at the tip of the bullet in front of the steel core. There are only two factories in russia that made this spitzer tip boattail ammo, they were factory "188" and factory "60". Many reports have been made that they both shoot the same and are both extremely accurate. This ammo has been very rare in recent times, and there is not alot available. It has a copper washed steel case and a berdan primer. The case neck and the primer are sealed for moisture protection. This is some very high quality Russian ammo for the price. True russian military loads are not easy to find, so get it while you can. It comes packed in 20rd. military packs, 440rds. per spam can and two spam cans per wood crate.
