Question

Answer 1

A: Hello Chuck! This specific ammunition is loaded with a bi-metal jacketed projectile. As a result, the ammunition does contain steel and will not pass any type of magnet test.

Answer 2

A: This Brown Bear ammo is non-corrosive and will not leave deposits of salt in the bore that can attract moisture and promote corrosion like military surplus ammo.

Answer 3

A: Rimmed cartridges were produced when that was the easiest way to headspace a cartridge, or make sure that it was in the proper location prior to firing. The rim would stop the cartridge from going any farther into the barrel. More modern cartridges headspace off the case mouth or shoulder, which require more complicated manufacturing methods. Rimmed cartridges present special feeding issues in box magazines that are sometimes not easily overcome, which is why there are not many new firearms for rimmed cartridges and very few, if any, new rimmed cartridges currently.

Answer 4

A: This is new production ammunition.

Answer 5

A: Unlike some surplus ammunition, this Brown Bear ammunition is non-corrosive. No special cleaning procedures are required.

Answer 6

A: This Brown Bear ammunition is loaded with lacquered steel cases, not brass. I have not had the issue you describe with Brown Bear in my Mosin Nagant.

Answer 7

A: In the 1920s, Russian ammo production shifted from brass to steel to preserve resources. Since that time, the Russians have become experts at manufacturing steel cases. The primary benefit to most shooters is the lower cost per round.

Answer 8

A: This Brown Bear ammo cannot be reloaded.

Answer 9

A: This Brown Bear ammunition is noncorrosive. It is newly manufactured in Russia, and is not from any military stockpile. It is not surplus ammunition.

Answer 10

A: The R stands for Rimmed, because this cartridge has a prominent rim at the base that protrudes from the walls of the case. The most common weapons in this caliber are the Mosin Nagant, Dragunov, PSL, and PK/PKM. Because millions of weapons have been chambered in 7.62x54R, it is considered a fairly common round worldwide.

Answer 11

A: The only true way to tell if unknown ammo is corrosive is to fire it and let the gun sit, then wait for it to either corrode or not. This ammo is known to be non-corrosive, so there are no such concerns. When using suspect ammo, thoroughly clean all internal parts including the bore with soap and water, in addition to traditional cleaning oils and solvents.

Answer 12

A: No, these Brown Bear 7.62x54R cartridges are not corrosive.

Answer 13

A: No, these cases should not be reloaded.

Answer 14

A: The G1 ballistic coefficient of this 174gr 7.62x54R projectile is approximately .46. This ammo compares favorably to .308 in terms of max effective range and penetration.

Answer 15

A: Store this ammo in a cool, dry place, away from sources of moisture and heat.

Answer 16

A: No, because this Brown Bear ammunition is new production, it is not corrosive ammunition. Surplus military ammunition on the market may be corrosive, but cleaning up after it is fairly simple, with soap and water being highly effective. However, to reiterate, this is not corrosive ammunition, and no special precautions or cleaning regimens are required.
