8mm Ammo pricing help

[rakkal]

The brown wrapped with staples sure looks like 7.62x54r (Yes, mosin). The shorter one sure looks it too but I can't be sure without getting a micrometer out. Same headstamp? Can you read the box at all? And the string wrapped ones looks like more 54r from what I can tell. Where did you get it? Did somebody just dump a ton of ammo on you with no idea or what?

When my uncle passed away I paid for the funeral and my aunt gave me all the gums and ammo. I sold some of the guns to get my money back and kept the rest. Last night I sold 6 of the 8mm bandoleers and some of the 54r. I will try and get a better picture of the shorter stuff tonight. Thanks for the input I really appreciate it.

I just googled the box and I guess they are M39ub 7.62x54r practice rounds. Only good out to about 100yrds. I might just go run some through a Mosin for the hell of it to see what it's like.

That's pretty neat! I've heard of those, if you want any more info let me know. I have a Mosin expert in IL

I recognize the striped paper wrappers with stings. I believe it is Albanian 7.65x54R.

Yikes I'm glad I reload. I used to buy bandoliers of turk for 5 bucks shipped. It's good stuff but even today not worth 50 cents a round.
