	Although the transition was only fully completed in the late 1990s, the new cartridge follows the same trend that the United States started and that which Russia followed during the Cold War ; phasing out a larger, heavier service rifle cartridge in favor of lighter, smaller cartridges, in order to allow an individual soldier to carry more ammunition for a given weight.

The cartridge was later declined in several variants; among the most notable of which is the DBP-88 "Heavy", which was designed for sniper rifles and squad support weapons and employed a heavier 77 grain bullet.
