My dad and I just got back from a gunshow , and a vendor was selling good ol 7.62x54r ammo pretty cheap in a sardine can. He said the stuff we got was a Soviet can of ammo (I didn't even know they had surplus) Anyway , for some odd reason its reloaded steel ammo (62 and 85 headstamps) I didn't even know it was normal to reload steel ammo.

There was a little piece of paper inside with "укупорщйк весощйк укладчйца" On it

Can anyone ID the phrase , or the kind of ammo (Although i know the ammo question is more for the ammo forums).

Thanks!

Boy that was easy!  Babel Fish translated it to English with a click:

ukuporshchyk of vesoshchyk of ukladchytsa

Sure it's Russian?  Admittedly, I'm nowhere near fluent, but usually Й (transliterated, the letter is called "ee kratkoye") is used in conjunction with another vowel, I don't ever recall seeing it stand alone in a word.

Lots of other languages use versions of the Cyrillic alphabet (Serbian, Yugoslavian, etc) - is it possible it's one of them?  They just don't look like any Russian words I've come across, and searching through my Russian/English dictionary comes up with nothing.

BTW - never trust Babelfish for translations of Russian.  It has to be one of the worst online translators out there.  Russian has many idiomatic phrases that wreak havoc with Babel.

literal translation is:
metal jars packaged by - commercial weighed - someone who stacked the boxes

Congratulations- you found the packaging instuctions (three labor professions/duties)
