7.62x54R ammo - non-corrosive surplus ?
Author: StG44	©	July 19, 2000 at 05:22:48

I will shortly get my Romak-3 & have been reading all the
excellent content here. I've gone through the posts about
54R ammo, & have looked in Shotgun News &

online. I find:

S&B 180gr non-corr $6-7/20 online, >$10

gunstore (I assume this is not yet
the match-grade stuff)

Norma: >$1 per round... Lots of admittedly corrosive
surplus Fewer mentions of allegedly non-corrosive

Russian mid-80's production

Can someone in the know lay out: 1. what bullet
(particularly weight) was

the Romak/FPK designed for ? (haven't
found that yet).

2. is the Russian mid-80's non-corrosive

truly non-corrosive (a web retailer
stated all surplus has some corrosives)

3. should I shy away from anything like

coated cases, steel case, etc. for the
Romak in particular ? (or just not
buy real cheap surplus ?)

4. corrosive is new to me - if I end up

buying it, I hear a bath of ammonia
in soapy water cleans up the action -
true ?

5. Ideally, I'd like to find some non-

corrosive stuff that's not as expensive
as the S&B - it'd be real cool to stay
under $0.20 a round. I don't care so
much about match grade, I would like to
stay away from the +200gr stuff since
that's apparently way above the intended
size (true ? - I'm looking to do long-
range target shooting). Does anything
like this exist ? Please recommend
what you think is the best fit.

Thanks a bunch! StG44
