In case you were curious - none mil surp in the form of PPU is 65 quid a hundred from Kranks.
S&B was something like 43 quid for 50 (From York Guns but I can't quite remember the price) - but in a Dragunov / Tiger the cases kept splitting at the neck which I'd read on here was something likely to happen; hence I only bought 50 just in case.

When my Finnish M91'B' is released from captivity it may be fed the current mil-surp.
It may also be fed bespoke Lapua 7, 62 x 53 cased reloads & Lapua D46 bullets....

Simplyammo and ammozone are £35 a 100 for milsurp, you don't have to buy it in 440 round spam cans.
Nick....I've run around 500 factory Sellior&Bellot through my Dragunovs and not had one problem with it, was the splitting with factory ammo or handloads?.

That was probably pre pistol ban ovenpaa when you could hardly give away Mosins as no one was in the slightest bit interested in them. LOL.
It was the same with Enfields, hardly anyone wanted to know and you could pick up a good one for £35. How things have changed.
