Howdy all,

I've happened to come into a can of 7.62x54R as part of a trade. I sure appreciate the guy including it, but value seems to be all over for these. Would anyone happen to know the value on these pre and post Wuflu? Thanks

I would guess $0.50 or so. If the can was full and it was still sealed, perhaps more. But I cannot see it being more than $0.50 a round seeing as how it is corrosive.

It's still sealed. Just put some of the additional ammo on top. Im actually thinking its Bulgarian from a bit more research. Planned on just keeping it as a neat piece

I do know powder was made in 71 and canned in 72 from the code, but didn't see a reference anywhere as far as factory numbers. Neat stuff

So what you have is:
7.62 (x54r) / ЛПС (Light ball bullet with mild steel core) / Powder made in 1971 and cartridge made in 1972 / Factory #10 (Bulgaria) / 440 rounds
Thanks for the info. Do you know where can I find the factory codes?
