French 7.5x54 Ammo

Post by mikey67 on Wed Nov 30, 2011 2:18 pm

Just a heads up! SOG and Century have French 7.5x54 stamped TE(Toulouse) 1959 at a reasonable price. Berdan primed and they say NC but I'm going to check that out.

I have had poor results from French military ammo. I saw 3 rifles destroyed with French made .30 M2 Ball ammo. I don't think I would shoot French made military rifle ammo in any rifle I own.

Yep Doug, they did some bad M2 Ball. Lots of folks had problems with that. Haven't heard anything bad about the 7.5x54 except for the Syrian stuff.

Century says this ammo is corrosive. Fired 20 rds thru a MAS36 today with no problems and very good accuracy! Cleaned the rifle accordingly!
