    Always enjoying to watch your videos about unboxing and testing ammo . I live in Canada, just like you , and we don't have as many options of ammo as the US. So, your videos is very helpful, especially in Canada when I looking for ammo . Thanks a lot again Ruslan.

    Looks pretty clean, it amazing that something could be so well preserved for all this time, I believe that most of the ammo fresh from a can that is corroded and shows discoloring is from the metal alloys not getting along and electrolysis taking over, there really isn't anything you can do about that. what you have there looks like good surplus-dave

    Yeah, if the ammo is properly isolated from the canister and it's sealed it ought to keep a long, long time.

    I have tried this 1960s Chinese surplus against Barnaul, 1970s chinese surplus, 2009 norinco and czech silver tip, and I found it produced better groups then all of them. Maybe my m39 just liked this type of ammo better but I was quite surprised how accurate this 1960s batch really was. Good ammo.

    Primer in these later Chinese 7,62x54R is the Standard 5,5mm ( .217") Berdan primer, not the earlier ( Russian) 6,45mm ( .254") Berdan. Tula/Murom had both these about 10 years ago in the US but Embargo on Russian components has nixed availability. They reload well, with Non-corrosive Primers ( Vihtavuori 5,5) of which I have 400k in stock here in Aussie. DocAV

    I purchased a quantity of Murom 5.5mm primers that were imported into Canada, these were packaged under the "Dominion" brand. These were sold as "Berdan Large Rifle Primers", however it turns out that they were the Murom KV-24N primer designed for loading 7.62x39. While the KV-24N primer fit the larger cases (7.62x54R, 303 Brit, 7.5 French & 7.5 Swiss) they were not sufficiently powerful and give hang fires when used in those larger cases with regular loads. They do work OK with cast bullets when using charges of shotgun power like Red Dot or 700X. I have managed to find a few of the RWS Berdan primers, but I'm saving those for the 7.5 Swiss.

Then you wipe the blood off your lip after punching yourself in the face with the buckled up handle wire. Grab a pair of vice grips and have at ‘er

    All of this stuff was imported directly from China, not Vietnam, so I think the chances of it being destined for Vietnam as military aid are close to zero. The Chinese at that time were mostly concerned with a war with the USSR (Sino - Soviet split), and the Chinese stocked up many billions of rounds of 7.62x54, 7.62x39 and other arms and ammo in preparation for a fight with the USSR.

    Commenting that ammo is "Clean" is not just a reference to lack of dirt on it but is also a reference to the lack of oxidization and corrosion that is common on lots of old ammo. I have opened old ammo that was still sealed and certainly free of dirt but it was tarnished and dull just from sitting in storage for so long and from chemical breakdown. Yes, the head stamp is clear on the video, which is good but in person I was having a hard time seeing it and was not sure at the time how well it would show up.

    Try to do it on video so people can see it happen and you will discover why others doing it on camera have difficulties with it. The angle is wrong, if I did it "correctly" I would have blocked the camera.
