privi (now PPU) makes good lower power ammo compared to the old military stuff. ( I like to shoot period ammo if possible).

For Mosin info try http://www.7.62x54r.net and more in depth http://mosinnagant.net (not updated lately)

I got my Mosin from a surplus deal and it cost me $99. Ive fired it enough to know that it hurts.

The other ones are unknown quantities though. I don’t know how well they were maintained or treated, and I will have a gunsmith check them out first.
