About 7.5x54 French Ammunition
France adopted the 7.5x54mm in 1929 to replace the older 8mm Lebel. It armed French forces through World War II and beyond in the MAS 36 bolt-action, the MAS 49 semi-auto and the FM 24/29 machine gun.
Factory loads typically use 139 to 150 grain bullets. FMJ is ideal for range shooting, while soft points make it a capable hunting round.
Brass-cased ammo from Prvi Partizan is reliable and reloadable, making it easy to keep French surplus rifles shooting.
