Hungarian 7.62 x 54R

[Gearhead222]

Dear Fellow Members-Just received 2 spam cans of the 80's production Hungarian 7.62 x 54R.This is NICE stuff!I compared it to the '50's and '60's production S&B and it is very similiar in dimensions and finish.The Albanian case neck taper measures farther from the rim than do these other two rounds,which explains why many of these rounds do not easily chamber in my babies.Last I called,the Ammo Store was just about out,but you can call them at 1-800-432-0255.OTS,but my IO exchange Yugo SKS arrived today at the UPS warehouse.Will let you know how it looks.Stephanie at IO was pretty disgusted with the dog they originally sent me and supposedly picked out a much nicer one.My .02 worth:)-Gearhead.
