Thread: 7.62x39 Ammo Identification

Hi, I'm new to the forum.

First question, is this the appropriate group to ask questions about ammo identification? Apologies if I'm in the wrong place.

I have an open spam can of 7.62x39 and want to make sure I have all the details correct before attempting to sell.

What I think so far is: - Steel case, FMJ (probably steel core, copper washed), lacquer sealed at neck and primer, made in 1973 in Romania , powder manufactured in 1972.
Rounds are packed in plain unbleached cardboard boxes of 20 rounds and have no writing on the boxes.


My bullet puller is packed away, otherwise I would pull a projectile, weigh it and cut it in half to check.
Will the primers be corrosive?

Can someone help confirm my identification and add anything more.

Any help Appreciate :-)

Jim
