Looking for surplus and soft point 54R ammo to run through a couple of 91/30s I have.  Suggestions?  MGS apparently has Brown Bear 203grn soft point.

Any and all mil-surp in that caliber should be considered corrosive. I don't know of any that I've ever heard of that wasn't. Sportsman's Guide has Wolf Premier that are soft points for about $10/20, and Cheaper than Dirt has S&B SP for about the same price.

I have the Silver tip ammo (i forget the manufacturer) but it has been flawless.

dar48 is correct . . .

all surplus will be corrosive.

I picked up a couple case of the surplus Polish ammo a few weeks ago for only $65 per case (880 rounds).  Seems to be pretty good stuff.  

The "heavy ball" rounds (198 grain) can really thump the old shoulder  !    I like shooting the 148-150 grain ball.

For overall general shooting fun the Polish, or Albanian, will do just fine . . . .

Quoted:
The Polish has been the best I've shot.



group wise I'm guessing?

One of mine seems to like the hungarian yellow tip the best, shoots POA and its pretty accurate (could hit a 10" plate at 200 yds.  The other can't hit anything with any ammo, which makes me think there is something wrong with it
