Is this 7.62 x 54R ammo if so what is the bullet weight?

What weight is light ball? Are both boxes the same ammo?

It looks like old corrosive primer combloc stuff. If so, clean the gun thoroughly immediately after each range session.

Thanks for the heads up.

Also, just be careful with your targets, a lot of that com block ammo is copper washed, mild steel bullets. You can check with a magnet.

Thanks for the helpful info! I've got some old block ammo lying around, so I'm gonna give the magnet check a shot."

It must just be me. Why the heck would anyone want to possibly punish their rifle barrel with ammunition one cannot even read
its labeling? Have a friend run a few hundred rounds of same ammo thru their rifle and report back.

That lead sealed tin might have brass case with corrosive primer/powder?
