May 19, 2009 · Unfortunately I don't have a dial caliper (this from an ex draftsman and engineering assistant) the rounds are all damn near the exact same length as the marked 7.62 x 39 but with different heads and case markings. All are steel cased. The first is an FMJ with a

Jul 19, 2013 · Re: 7.62x39 Ammo Corrosive/Non-Corrosive-ID When I find some unusual ammo, I just google the headstamp and I always find a discussion from some shooter's forum of the ammo in question.

Jan 30, 2010 · The 9mm kits for 7.62mm TT-33s were initially a replacement 9mm barrel and a magazine.

Back when the "Military Classic" stuff hit the market, many (including myself) preferred to buy the "Black Box", as it was something we were already familiar with and knew that it worked. Fast forward a few years and I stopped buying all ammo because I was out of work.

May 11, 2009 · The only time you'd even need to worry about corrosive ammo in 5.56 / .223 is if you bought old surplus ammo - and there aint a whole lot of that around anymore. None of the modern / recently produced 5.56 / .223 ammo is corrosive.

Mar 25, 2020 · The document that I am posting came with this M14 receiver and details the loading data for the 7.62MM Match M852 Cartridge. UPDATE: I was informed in the M14 forum by KurtC that the 7.62MM M852 NM Load of IMR 4895 was updated and the powder was increased to 42 grns.
