Its ballistic performance is very comparable to that of the American [[7.62x51mm NATO]], but has power comparable to the [[.30-06 Springfield]]. It is sometimes nicknamed the "Russian Thirty-Aught-Six" because of this. During World War II, it was part of the "big three" of service calibers, alongside its [[[7.92x57mm Mauser|German]] and [[.30-06 Springfield|American]] counterparts.

Originally, '''7.62x54mm R''' rounds were developed with a round nosed, full-metal jacketed bullet, but the Russo-Japanese War led Russia to develop a new variant in 1908 which uses a spitzer bullet with a lighter gunpowder load; this configuration remained standard up to nowadays.<br />

Later, with the development of the [[IZHMASH SVD Dragunov|Dragunov sniper rifle]], another variant called '''7N1''' was developed specifically for the SVD as a purely anti-personnel round.
