Mosin Nagent - Ammo

[California44]

What ammo do you use for your Mosin? Tula or other name?

[Capybara]

Bulgarian Silver Tip and Czech low recoil training ammo for plinking.

[Marquand]

Prvi Partizan 182gr FMJ or the equivalent fodder when I'm restricted to "range safe" ammo. Norinco 61/56 marked milsurp when I am not - I've got thousands of rounds of the stuff left from the 90's when it was dirt cheap and I bought cases of it for my NDM-86 Dragunov.

Like Marquand, I use milsurp, where I'm allowed to do so, and Prvi Partizan, where no steel's allowed. If you reload, you can make relatively inexpensive cast or jacketed bullet rounds.

Cheap strong ammo

[DirtyRussianAmmo]

Milsurp stuff. Comes in spam cans, 440 rounds per.

Quick search came up with this deal. Get some.

Whatever. I have some nice brass cased stuff, never shot it. I like the MFS? Stuff from Big5, still pretty cheap but supposed to be non corrosive. I bought a crate of surplus a while back for a decent price so im set up for a while.

lacquer will jam up your extraction if you let your buddies run through your cheap ammo like mental patients and over-heat your guns (I think that was prob before I sold them police by back).

So I prefer copper washed.

Big-5 sold some $1rd/20box Winchester that looked and fed and shot really good. Its what I'd take hunting.

Light ball better than Heavy ball, less kick.

Older stuff gives bigger flash.

NEVER had a SINGE dud from several different types of Commie surplus ammo. If they ran the rest of their economy like their ammo plants we'd all be speaking Russian now.

Thanks everyone.

Winchester. From a garage sale.

A few years ago CDNN Sports had some Igman M84 ball "MFS 02" ammo, 420 rounds per 50 cal ammo can in 15 round boxes. Shoots good, it's non-corrosive, and non-magnetic. I got 2 cans ($115 each) and sold one to my favorite gun range.

This Russian sniper stuff, amazingly accurate out my 22" barrel 91/30. A bit more expensive vs other surplus but it's so worth it imo.

147gr Russian surplus (188-Novosibirsk) shoots extremely well through all 6 of my Mosins. I get 1.5" or less groups from my late M39. I picked up a tin of Bulgarian, I havent tried it yet. Remember this stuff is corrosive, you HAVE to clean it immediately.

The Tula ammo has had mixed reviews, I have heard it is unevenly loaded.

PPU (prvi partisan) is excellent ammo in all calibers I shoot. 7.62x54R, 7.62x25, .303 Brit and 8MM Mauser. The brass is excellent for reloading and all calibers have been extremely accurate. Stout loads and burns clean. Shop online and you can find PPU for $13-$14 a box of 20.
