I hunt with a 7.62X54R
the gun shoots great but it is hard to find rounds for it.
I've taken 7 deer in the last 4 years with this rifle and would like to know more about the rifle.
it is sporterized by the buddy I bought it from.
Full Version: 7.62X54R
Taken from the Hornady Reloading Manual.
The 7.62 Russian ( 7.62 x 54R) is a Rimmed bottlenecked 30 caliber cartridge adopted by the Russian army in 1891.The most common is The Mosin-Nagant rifles . These are boxer primed and available from Norma.
This is the Russian Equal of the 308 but not identical. I would save up brass and reload my own or find someone with the dies and load up a supply. fun to shoot a very accurate.
I hope this is what you were looking for
