Can anyone suggest a good, non corrosive, not expensive, 7.62X54R name brand ammo? I read on another gun forum that Wal-Mart sells the 7.62X54R ammo.

I have all kinds of 7.62x54 ammo most of it is corrosive except some wolf I have is not suppose to be. but I shoot it all and clean with hot soapy water, not as much trouble as it sounds. I use a 2 pound coffee can with hot soppy water and stick the barrel in it and run a patch from the breach end and get the patch wet and then it will pull the water up into the barrel and chamber, it only takes a couple of strokes and as the water is very hot it dries quick, then I use regular bore cleaner (hoppes).
on one semi auto I have I bought new brass and load my own.
I think norma makes it but it is high.
I have been shooting corrosive ammo for years and never had any rust cleaning this way.

Mill surplus will be corrosive. New production will not be. I did notice Wally World had some TULA FMJ 7.62X54R last time I was there $11.97 for 20 rounds and picked up a box. GM sells some in a white box and I think it is marked corrosive. Nothing wrong with corrosive ammo as long as you clean well afterword's I us plain Windex as the ammonium neutralizes the salts.

What is your idea of not expensive?
Brass...Wolf gold, Winchester, PPU
Steel....wolf, Bear, Red Army. These will be the cheapest.
I have seen wolf and winchester at Walmart
Cleaning corrosive is not a big deal. A lot of people use Windex and or hot water. Whatever floats your boat. I just use some CLP and done. Takes 5 minutes. Have been doing it for over a decade without any rust

Seiler and belote? Spelling illudes me right now. And Winchester Metric calibers which I think is Seiler Belote.
And that privi stuff which is plumb ok. I bought a half case of that before jugears sucked his way in to the WH. I bought like 6 cases of corrosive just because it was cheap at the time and if I had to, I could pull the bullets and size them for my other 30 cal rifles.

I have a good friend that reloads. He made some loads with .308 boat tail bullets, standard powder.
They were great, at 400 meters I didn't have to change the setting on the open sites. They didn't drop like the spam can ammo.
400 mtrs., what target? You see a target?

I like the MFS ammo in the black box if you can find it.

What are you shooting it out off? Problem with 308 is that it's 308. Typically most things chambered in 7.62x54 run from 310 - 312. It's possible to run into a 308 barrel
Also that's what the sight ladders are fore
