    i have about 600 rounds of it i bought at ammo bros last year. i do clean mu Mosins after every shoot. but if it is corrosive i do spend extra time on it.

    If it's Soviet and from the 70's it's definitely corrosive.

      test it, pull the bullet, load the casing and shoot the primer at a piece of steel, clean your gun and wait to see if the spot on the steel starts to rust.

          That's Russian Extra-Match. 200 gr bullet Hands down the best and most consistant surplus ive ever used.

          Wish i got more of it. If you look on the side of the can, the avg spread @ 300meters is listed for that batch, the best lots are around 6 cm i think

          Corrosive primers

            I just go under the assumption that if it is not modern, commercially produced 54r, then it is corrosive regardless of what the internet or salesperson in the store may say. Better safe than sorry.

              Yes it is.
              Clean accordingly

                I'm not saying it's corrosive;

                But it's corrosive.

                      Good ammo.

                      Good corrosive ammo.

                      Clean after shooting.
