East German 7.62x54r 124 gr. Short Range Training All content copyright © 7.62x54r.net Return to 7.62x54r Ammunition Introduction |
This training ammo was manufactured for East Germany in Hungary, or at least with cases from Hungary. The bullet is essentially the same weight and type as used in the 7.62x39 cartridge. The ammo has not been on the market in several years but shows up from time to time in shops or at gun shows. It is not known for it's accuracy but could be useful for introducing new shooters that might be afraid of recoil to Mosin Nagants.
Ammunition for this evaluation was provided in part by "Davis" of Gunboards.com.
