About 7.62x54R Ammunition
Russia adopted the 7.62x54mmR in 1891 with the Mosin-Nagant rifle. The "R" stands for rimmed, and the cartridge has served in Russian and Soviet rifles and machine guns for more than a century.
Common loads use 147 to 182 grain bullets. Heavy 180 grain class FMJ is ideal for range shooting, while soft points turn the cartridge into a capable deer and hog round comparable to 30-06.
Brass-cased ammo from Prvi Partizan is clean-burning and reloadable, a great choice for collectors who want to shoot their Mosin-Nagant without corrosive surplus.
