440 Rounds of 149gr FMJ 7.62x54r Ammo by Russian Surplus

7.62x54r is best known for its use in the Mosin Nagant. The cartridge was first put into service in 1891 after being developed by the Russian empire for their military. Interestingly, the 7.62x54r has the longest standing service record of all military cartridges that have been made to date. It’s also the oldest such round still seeing regular use in combat in more than one military force. In those cases it’s typically being used in Dragunov sniper rifles. Of course, odds are better that you yourself have a Mosin Nagant, and you’re probably looking for some good target rounds.

These particular 7.62x54r rounds are made by Russian Surplus. Each round weighs in at 149 grain which makes these lightweight for the cartridge size. Being so light enables them to zip towards targets at higher speeds and also helps keep felt recoil manageable. These are FMJ, Full Metal Jacket, rounds and do not expand on impact. Target rounds like these are prone to over-penetration and can travel for miles when fired from a rifle. Always have a solid backstop in place. This ammunition is meant for target practice and plinking.
