I bought a case of the 7.62x54r ammo but on the case it says 7.62x59 is this the same?

Also how to I open the metal container to get access to the actual ammo? Thanks.

Yes, it's the same thing.

You've gotta pull on the tabs (which have the loops on them) to open up the metal can.  It's a pain in the ass, I know.  Get something and use a lot of leverage (like a crowbar maybe...).  If that doesn't work, you may just have to poke a hole in it and cut it open with some snips or something.

Which type of ammo?

The can should have a little metal tab on it around the ends or the top if it is the gray metal type. Just use some needle nose pliers to twist it all the way arond the top.

If it is the Spam can type, you will need a can opener tool.
