before you waste your life reading my story, the question is: Has anyone experienced this kind of problem with their guns while using this ammo? Is my gun still usable after this event? And who knows a good gunsmith that can check my gun for little(he can have the ammo) to no fee?
Ok! to my snorefest!
I spent the whole day yesterday at the range firing out ammo that I accrued through the gun show few weeks ago and decided to do some more testing through my 91/30.
My freind has a SVT-40 and some random ammo laying around, hands me a paper box with a brown paper-tape lable around it in cyrillic. The cases are lacquered green and the bullet has a yellow tip. My freind had noted he bought this stuff for the SVT, but it really kicks his butt- I figure it's probably some heavy ball stuff, might work great in my mosin.
Shot through a box of wolf copper jacket, a box of privi(saved the brass), and a box of olympic 180gr(this stuff seemed to work the best)- but when I put 3 rounds of this stuff, something interesting happened:
Ugh! first shot kicked hard- really hard, harder than any of the ammo I tested before.
Second shot was really smoky, I extracted the casing and it looked fine, no bulding, no cracking, just really-really smoky...
The thirds shot, I tried to extract the case, but the little bastard had jammed itself into the chamber, one uppy that, the rim that catches the extractor broke!
- I ran some windex and hoppes through the barrel, dried it, and left it for the next day.
-Testing ended, this morning, I managed to nudge out the case with a brass cleaning rod and rubber mallet, the case had split! it started halfway from the neck to the base of the shoulder.
My other freind had attempted to fire a round out of his M44, he noted that it had kicked significantly harder and decided not to try it again... I would say "Smart Man", but he did this right after the case jammed itself in my gun.
it's marked aym, '53 with yellow primer and looks like loctite around it, case is lacquered and green, bullet is jacketed lead core.
Label is marked (from left to right, top to bottom)
7,62-T(looks like the green lanter's insignia) 2237/53-aym
Ni/Fe 1x/53
(lable tear) Nc tp 1,2x0,5/1.2 Knma 1(looks like a large 3 or beta)/523,00g
Then over with a red stamp 17064
EDIT!
I found a link at 7.62x54R.net (I reccommend this website to new users of Mosin Nagant type rifles)
