I know it's made in Russia, but is it HP or FMJ? Bullet weight?
Approximate age?

#2

Unknown country of origin. Looks like HP. Bullet weight?
Approximate age?

Any pics of what is in these? Value for each can? I have the openers.

Thanks

The good stuff isn't labeled in English.

First one is probably 123 FMJ and the second is defintely HP. It's probably that Uly white box stuff labeled "hunting cartridges"

Thanks, I know it 's commercial and not the "good stuff" but the markings are a little vague about whats really inside.

Agree with the above. Could be any of the recent Russian manufacturers of 7.62x39mm. They seem to all use the "generic" format on the spam cans. Personally, it's all GTG for me, so who made it makes little difference.

LCB = lead core ball
bullet weight could be 122, 123 or 124g, depending on the manufacturer.

I would open it, unless you are trying to sell.

Yes, "LCB" means Lead Core Ball, but don't mistake this as also meaning FMJ. I've seen plenty of HP with "LCB" on the box...
