What is the best mosin nagant 7.62x54R ammo?

Hello,

This is highly subjective to the rifle.

Czech silver-tipped light ball is largely considered the best of the surplus ammunition, but it does produce hygroscopic salts which lead to rusting if the rifle is not cleaned right away.

For new production ammunition, Prvi Partisan, Winchester, and S&B work nicely. However, they are brass-cased and are about $1 US per round. They are really only worth the cost if you plan to reload (I do).

Wolf, Barnaul, and Brown Bear are all produced on ex-military machinery, are steel cased and non-reloadable. They are also about half the price of the domestic and brass-cased fodder, and would be my recommendation to those wishing to shoot non-corrosively primed ammunition but who do not reload.
