1975 Romanian steel Core Silver Tip 7.62x54R Ammo from Sportmens Guide.
I though I was buying Russian from Factory 188 made in 1977, Instead I got Arsenal 10 Bulgarian Ammo made in 1975. No Problem as it is the same exact Ammo. Took some to the Range, fired it no problem's no misfires. It is Corrosive However. This is the first and last Time I open one of those Tin myself. Even with the Tool, It wear's out your Hand Fast. Has anyone else got any Bulgarian as well? I shoot it in my Type-53 Carbine.

As this is marked the same with a Silvertip it is Light Ball FMJ, Corossive Ammo. Not sure what the BT mean's, I think the 22 over 75, mean's the 22nd Week of 1975. Which would be sometime in mid-May, of 1975. The Ammo does not Smell, but I noticed the White Paper that 20 Round's each are wrapped in does!
If you have a grinder, you can run that along the edge and that will open the can...
Of course, the idea of the cans is for long term storage...

BT = powder type but I don't know what type it means?

By the way, I just noticed I wrote Romanian instead of Bulgarian in the Headding. It is Bulgarian, not Romanian. just to correct that. Thanks for your replies. Paul
You though it was bad with the tool?!
Try it without, using a screwdriver and a hammer.

Are you refering to something like the Dremil? the small Hand held one?
