| Out of all of the
high-destructive-power cartridges, the 7,62x54R is one of the most popular
in Russia. Our hunters have been
thoroughly confused because the package, case bottom and stamps vary in
their marking: 7,62x53, 7,62x53R, 7,62x54, 7,52x54R. This happened because
the 53,72 mm case length was rounded off differently in various countries.
After Russia became a member of the European Permanent Coordinated
Commission, the final name - "7,62x54R" - of the cartridge was
accepted. Presently, the
enterprise has been actively developing new types of cartridges and their
production assimilation. In 1997 domestic and outdoor consumers became
associated with several Barnaul novelties such as; 5,45x39 FMJ BT, 7,62x51
.308Win Super, 7,62x54R Super, etc.
