What's the headstamp? What makes it "sniper grade?"

brutus' Description This ammo was maunfactured in the late 70's through the 80's in Russia. The Silver bar you see on the wooden case and on the can indicates Silver Tip. The Silver Tipped 149 grain Boat Tail bullet in this ammunition is unique in that it has a steel shank in the center of the projectile beneath an exterior coating of lead that is bonded to the bullet jacket. This allows the projectile to stabilize in flight and provides the accuracy and penetration of a steel core round while not being harsh on the barrel or bore as is the case with a full hardened steel core. It is the absolute best of both worlds. Also, the Boat Tail Bullet is more aerodynamic and allows for a flatter trajectory and greater accuracy over a long distance. This ammo has a copper washed steel case and is berdan primed. The case neck and the primer are sealed for moisture protection. It comes packed in 20rd. military packs, 440rds. per sealed spam can. As with most surplus 54r ammo this ammunition does have some mildly corrosive components so remember to clean your weapon after firing. All Ammo comes packaged 440rds to a sealed "spam" can, and 880rds ( 2 cans ) to a wooden crate as pictured. We sell by the can or by the case. Each case of 2 cans only comes with one can opener so only case orders will receive a can opener. Stock Up Now.
