Bought this a long time ago, now forget what is inside! I had the foresight to tape the key to it and write x54R on it but can't for the life of me remember country of origin or anything about the cartridges inside (grain of projectile, primer type, case material). There's no markings at all on the can. Little Help?

This may be a stupid question, and I`m not trying to be silly, but could you get something like that x-rayed ?

Although not sure where, besides the obvious (hospitals etc.)

I'd say that its Chinese 7.62x54 as well, most of the European surplus ammo Ive ever bought comes in a green painted can.

Not much point. I know what caliber is inside. Was hoping someone would recognize the can and key style, to ID the specifics of the loading. Looks like I'm going to have to open 'er up.
