I was re-organizing my ammo storage and thought I'd share a few pics of samples of some of the milsurp ammo I've accumulated (hoarded) over the years.
Feel free to correct my identifications, as I've forgotten what a lot of it is for sure.
And no, none of it is for sale.
7.62x54R:
From top left to right:
Hungarian light ball in charger and in the paper and tar package;
Soviet ball in 15 round boxes;
Hungarian heavy ball in string wrapped wax paper;
Romanian(?) in the grey boxes, lacquered steel cases;
Soviet(?) ball in 125 rd package from Century, price $30 on package;
Soviet match in yellow boxes, brass cased;
Norma soft points. If you squint you can see the $38 price tag and that ammo is at least 25 years old!
