I found an unopened spam can of ammo in a relative's storage area. I tried to decipher the faded markings and the best I could come up with was it was Bulgarian..unknown caliber but 7,62 something. I wanted to keep it sealed for a potential buyer but how could I sell it if I don't know what it is? I s'pose I could have tried to sell it as a 'mystery' package but I don't think too many folks would take the risk, unless I basically gave it away. Only one way to find out :

Caught a whiff of Bulgarian breeze from 1953 and I gotta say commie air isn't too fresh
7,62x54R
Drat, I was hoping for 7,62x25 to feed the PPSH
got half of my wish!

Still a good find, 54R is just as hard to find right now as anything else. Hasn't been much around before. Last can I sold was 150.00 and it moved within a day.
