Ok this is my part 1 review I will post another one on how well this shoots, this video is overall how I liked it. Just look for watch for me again name in the next 2-4 weeks when I make it to the range. Ok over all this was GOOD! my first time buying a surplus ammo can from anyone. I must say fast shipping. I got scared when I saw this dent in my can, but when I opened it all was great no ammo dents so far. Mine was 1968 stamped not 70's-80's which is fine by me because ammo last long long long time. I used pliers to open this after I made a punch hole and it worked out even though I had no can opener. A+ thanks ctd I will buy another one in the coming months! Watch for me again2 in 2-4 weeks on a range report. I do not think I will have a problem because so many people been using this ammo for years and its trusted!

Great for the price will definently get more.Can was a bit of a pain to open but kept the rounds in pristine shape. Fired 100 with no problems at all. I agree my Mosin got pretty hot every 20 rouds but it held a good group at about 200 meters.

When I ordered my tin of ammo it was supposed to come with the can opener but didn’t. An angle grinder with a cutting wheel made short work of the lid and didn’t harm the ammo in the tin. The rounds were in great condition inside the tin and packed in bundles wrapped in paper. The rounds fired well and are very accurate in my Mosin with a scope mount (also form CTD). The only gripe about the ammo is that after the rifle got quite warm the spent cases were difficult to eject. The case expanded a little inside the hot receiver. The corrosive ammo required immediate cleaning (personal preference) but was easy to clean even after putting about 100 rounds downrange.

the best ammo ever

I bought this ammo with poor hopes, but when I received my ammo I was shocked that the can was in great condition. The rounds themselves were in superb condition. I shot a 1/2" thick steel target at 250 yards and they went through like it wasn’t there. The ammo is the best I have ever fired out of my 91-30 and WILL be buying more soon. If you have a Mosin Nagant this is the best thing since sliced bread.

GREAT!

I bought my Mosin about 2 years ago and was shocked by the price of ammo. At the time I begrudgingly paid $20 for 20 rounds. It fired well, but the price bothered me. So I went to CTD and almost flipped my lid! The price of this ammo is equivalent to .22LR ammo! I bought 2 cases. The cases were pretty hard to open but it was worth the task. The ammo fires terrific and the gun is simple to clean. If you own a Mosin, svd or ... This is an awesome buy.

I shot 80 rounds with my 1953 M44. It fired excellent without any misfires. This ammo is cheap enough to plink with. We were knocking bottles down at 50yards with no problems. The muzzle flash is visible in broad daylight and just gets better the darker it gets. I'll give this ammo an A+ for quality and price. The only downside is that it took me almost 5 minutes to get into the can with the included can opener, but it's still worth it.

This is a great buy. I actually bought the rifle because it was a proven and sturdy design and the ammo was such a bargain. My can of ammo had a can opener taped to it and was no problem to open the can. The secret is to tilt the can opener in toward the center of can for it to work best. I plan on buying another can.

Nice stuff

CTD has the best price on these cases of ammo, even with the shipping cost. I ordered them on a Saturday and they arrived Friday morning. Note: this is corrosive ammo, clean thoroughly after shooting! I was pleased to see the can came with an opener, which is awkward at first.

I received my bullets today, The tin can was airtight, the rounds were mint condition. Also the production year for the bullets I got were 1993. Hope they live up to their reviews. (2 M38's, 1 M91/30, 1 M91/59)

I got a tin and it is airtight and hard to open without the right tool. My friend and I both had trouble getting the first rounds to chamber without assistance. Not sure if it matters but we loaded out of stripper clips. Out of 100 rounds I had one misfire but it then successfully shot out of my friend's mosin nagant. It is very accurate ammo though, we shot milk jugs filled with water at about 200 yards without scopes. Good fun.

At this price this was really great ammo, I had one hell of a hard time getting the can to open up and I ended up using an angle grinder to cut the top lid off. I have to say this ammo was so powerful it was punching through 1/2 inch thick metal piping like nothing. I had some trouble getting this ammo to feed correctly in my Mosin Nagant but I think that may have been an issue with my rifle more than the ammo

when i bought my mosin and used this ammo it didnt seemed accurate, but i spent 12 bucks on a hopps cleaning kit and spent hours cleaning the bore and the chamber and the next thing i know it improved the accuracy. i encurage every one to invest in atleast one can. and remember to clean your rifle prior to shoothing. pfc matt

This ammo is perfict, I've put 120 or so through my carbine (M38) and M91/30 and have had zero failures or lemons. I've sighted in my long rifle for 50 yards and my carbine at 100 with the stuff, both shoot like a laser beam. Nuts to the man who says surplus is garbage! NUTS I SAY!

Since in my area this ammo is like gold, either you can't find it or it costs a fortune. So last month I bought some of this surplus and I just got around to trying it. I am very impressed with this ammo and it is all I will use in my '43' Mosin Nagant.

These are great rounds for shooting in the Mosin Nagant Check or Russian rifles,Alittle slow as far as bullits go but for the Nagant it's perfect.I've shot the Wolf bullits and for the money these Russian Surplus ronds are great ""BUT" clean that rifle right after shooting it because of the acidic powder used in the Russian rounds. Keep on shooting.PS I shot a 3 inch pattern at 800 yards with my old Mosin Nagant at the range with open sights using the old sliding sight

Ok, I've read the rest of the reviews and have to add this: THERE IS A TOOL that is included with the box, to open this container and it took me about 5 seconds to figure out how it works, and about ONE MINUTE to open it! The ammo was in great shape, every shot was as accurate as the previous one. YES, you do have to clean the rifle after you use, BUT DON'T YOU DO IT ANYWAY??? So all I'm trying to say is that IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY! Great ammo, great price, and the delivery was SUPERFAST!

Bullets come in great condition, in FMJ style. Great for anything you plan to use them for, and a good value for the price. Only instead of the hammer and sickle, your gonna need a hammer and chisel to open up the container they're in. Other than the container, it was a great buy. Thanks CTD.
