Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I have a russian ammo can of belted ammo, that I'm pretty sure is for machine guns

think it would be too much for a bolt rifle? I'm not sure how much hotter it would be/is. The ammo can is kinda cool looking, and it's 250 rounds, but no tracers

but I did find a guy who was selling tracers, the green tipped ones. I thought about putting them in the belt and shooting the ones I take out, but I don't wanna wreck anything or lose an eye

Here're a couple of pics

they've got a yellow-orangish tip

this is what I call my magazine

and open

Thanks, it was a container for russian captured K98s, I got for free from FAC, before century acquired them. I figured I could lots of stuff in it, I was surprised how fast it filled up :lol

Usually yellow-orange denotes heavy ball IIRC 180 gr. What is the headstamp? I cannot read every thing because of glare and distance.

It's a mix, 270 over 48, 158 over ??, 33 over 52 I bought it at sportsmansguide, they probably put it together themselves. The top of the can is marked 200 with a yellow bar and 50 with a green bar. So, does this even sound like it's still machinegun ammo?

Go to mosin nagant.net and look under ammo. There is one special round listed as dangerous to shoot in rifles and it is specially marked with a cyrllic symbol at the rim edge. According to the information your ammo is the D round and is 172 grains. I cannot find any Russian factory numbers that match with the ones you gave. I have a book on headstamp listings, but cannot get to it?????

I found two Russian factories.

270= Voroshilovgrad----also given is Lugansk, Ukraine??

188= Novosibirsk perhaps it is 188 and not 158?? No 158 listed.

Found a #33, but it is Waffenwerkbrunn, Czech Republic

This is sort of like a scavenger hunt.
