Vpt stamped 7.62x54R

[--PA--]

So tonight I was putting 7.62x54R ammo on stripper clips from a lot I got and some on the ammo stands out

Green tip projectile (from my research it tracers)

Silver projectile ammo stamped VPT32

Hollow point stamped VPT29

Some weird tip bullet with Norma 7.62 russe stamped

Is any of that stuff collectable ? I mean Wouldn't like to shoot stuff that is highly collectable even though I am very tempted to shoot the green tip ammo and find out if its tracers

Thanks for the help

Yes, the green tipped rounds are tracers, but I doubt that they would light (depending on age)

VPT is Valmet, Finland. The Norma round is a commercial sporting round.

None of them are really collectable (at least here in the UK)

Thanks TonyE, one more question why is the VPT projectile silver ?

Thanks TonyE, one more question why is the VPT projectile silver ?

lots of eastern bloc ammo is marked with silver to indicate standard ball ammo. The crate is generally marked with the same stripe.

Thanks TonyE, one more question why is the VPT projectile silver ?

The jacket material is silver or there is silver paint on the tip?
The silver jacket would be cupronickel jacket.

The jacket material is silver (the whole projectile is silver)

It's silver coloured, not silver.

By whole I meant not just the tip .
