Anyone tried the "Russian Match" AIM and some others are selling? I bought some a the "sniper" 7.62x54r some years back but don't have any info on this stuff?

7N1 was what I had, still have some. I believe this is different. Here is the 7N1. Packaging is different then what AIM is showing

Also the 7N1 is a 152gr bullet. The Match AIM has is listed as 182gr

I looked at it, but most of my semi-autos use +/-150 grain and I thought the 182 grain might be too heavy... Is this the ammo for those match bolt rifles the Centerfire and others were selling?

Most Mosin rifles will shoot the heavier bullets a little more accurately. I am considering buying some of this for use in my Tokarev, as I understand it, the SVT40 really shines with the heavier bullets. The brass cases and "target" designation suggest perhaps it was built for 300 meter shooting in the day, a sport at which the Soviet Union excelled.
