Ammo ID Help needed

Post by buckeyered »

I have this spam can of ammo and I want to be sure of what it is so I can properly label it for sale.
This is the best picture I could get of the markings. I know it is either 7.62x25, 7.62x45, or 7.62x54r but want to be positive without having to open the can.

My best guess would be
7.62 type 51 = 7.65x25 tokarev
1260 Rounds

heres a similar can

Thanks, the can had it written as 7.62x25 in marker but I wasn't sure because of the 45 imprinted on the can.

Now I need to figure out what a fair price would be to sell it. It's robbery for the few that I found listed.

Pricing tool...

$0.30 to $0.50 a round. I would have thought less..
