Can you identify this 7.62X54?

Thanks, guys. If that's Hungarian, I've been meaning to try it out in my 1891/30. I hear it kicks like a mule though! I've never heard of Bulgarian - what's that like?

Here is a picture of the packaging



And the bullet (seems like it starts to taper or something before it even reaches the case mouth)

 
Make sure you clean you gun Reallllyyyyyyyyyyy good after using that stuff. It's super corrosive!!. It make Czech surplus look non-corrosive. It almost ruined my M91/30 barrel. I give it a quick cleaning after I shot 15 rounds and put it away for 3 months and was havik on the barrel. I shot Czech stuff and forgot to clean it for a month after using it and diden't do any thing compared to that stuff. Use Lot's of windex with ammonia and hot water immediatly after use.
 
EOS; is right on
Factory 10 in 1954....
Infamous factory "10" went civilian not long after the mini revolt in 1991....
That was one amazing factory, I was the guest of the director general at his dacha for several days.... Yes in the "good old days" before the revolt....

Thanks for the tip, Blakem91. I will be sure to give it an extra special cleaning.

Yes, .70 cents a round is bad, but I never bought the Hungarian when it was cheap. I bought the Czech and then found out it would jam up my Mosin. It's still better than paying $1 per round for the commercial (actually, it's more than $1 per round where I live.)

John, that sounds interesting. Could you tell me what it was like meeting the factory director?
