Help with Identifying Surplus 7.62x54r

[*bryce*]

Hey everyone,
I was lucky enough to pick up a hex Mosin Nagant for a great price and along with it came over 1k rounds of ammo.

I've tried to do as much research as possible on my own but I somehow always end up with different results as far as identification. I don't really have the means to pull a bullet and weigh it to get the weight either.

The rounds in question both have yellow tips with no other colors. Which I believe indicates heavy ball but I'm unsure of grain. Looking at the bottom of the case, one is stamped "21" ontop and "51" on the bottom of the primer. The other is stamped "270" ontop and "47" on the bottom part of the primer.


Can anyone tell me what these rounds are and approx. what they may be worth each?

Definitely heavy ball, probably somewhere around the 180gr range. Im thinking Hungarian.

Do you think both are Hungarian? I somewhat came to the conclusion on the ones label "21" that they were hungarian but was unsure of what weight they were.
I can't seem to find much on the "270" however.

I don't have the necessary tools. Although I could possibly do it with a couple of pliers, I still don't have a scale.

Good catch.


Anyone know the approx value of these rounds? I'll probably stick with my 147grain rounds for now.

One thing...the heavy ball was a good round for one of my Mosins and not so good in others...I did find one thing...in the Hungarian Heavy ball yellow tip I had there were a lot of split necks..I guess some folks shoot those with the splits but I didn't ...
