I picked up some rounds today that were loose at the gunshop and can't find out where they're made. I had a print out of all the different factory codes but fuck knows where it is, google isn't being cooperative and 7.62x54r.net doesn't list it.

Head stamp is
71
87 (year)

Copper wash case, steel core unmarked projie and i'm pretty certain it's light ball.

Nevermind, I found a link on surplusrifle.com


71 -------- FFV Zakrisdalsverken, Karlstad, Sweden

71 -------- Unknown Factory, Peoples Republic of China


I have my doubts that it's from sweden.

Either way i'm happy, 7.62r is hard to find here and Highland (Wolf Gold) sells for $30 per 20 vs $12 for these.
