Olympic 7.62x54r 172 gr. FMJ All content copyright © 7.62x54r.net Return to 7.62x54r Ammunition Introduction |
This Greek ammo has a very poor reputation among shooters. It's quality is lower than much of the surplus on the market, yet the price is higher. In 60 rounds fired for this evaluation there was one misfire where the primer failed to ignite. There are advantages in that it is non-corrosive and non-magnetic which is an issue at some public ranges. Although the case is brass, it is berdan primed and therefore not easily reloadable.
