    Identifying some surplus ammo



    Went to this site could not identify the rounds I bought. Top of the round has a 22 on it, the bottom has 78 there's a red ring around the primer and the bullet as well.

    That would be Romanian ammo from 1978. Is your ammo 7.62x54R or is it 8mm Mauser?

          Are you thinking that steel core means lead free? It doesn't usually. Also, using FMJ ammo to hunt can be a really bad idea depending on what you are hunting.
