'''7.62x54mm R''' (also known as '''7.62mm Nagant''') is a rifle cartridge developed by the Russian Empire during the late 19th century, and adopted as the main service rifle cartridge of Imperial Russia, then later the Soviet Union, in 1891. Originally called the "three-line cartridge, model of 1891", this now antiquated name has been replaced since by its metric designation.

The '''7.62x54mm R''' is a large rifle caliber developed in 1891, and suited for sniper rifles, and in '''belted form''', machine guns. It is considered a high-tier caliber in Mazeworld.
+
Historically significant, this cartridge was the caliber of the famous line of '''Mosin-Nagant''' rifles, many variants of which were the standard service rifle of Russia from 1891 to 1945, until the adoption of the '''Simonov SKS''' and later the '''Kalashnikov AK-47''', both of which are [[7.62x39mm]] firearms. Specialized sniper variants of the Mosin-Nagant remained in Soviet service until 1963, where they were phased out in favor of the '''Dragunov SVD'''.

However, the cartridge itself did not disappear from service, with later firearms such as the aforementioned SVD, but also the '''PK and PKM''' machine gun, the already extended service life of 7.62x54mm R still continues to this day. As of 2016, it is by far the oldest cartridge still in modern military service of all time, having seen 120 years of continued use in 2011, and still counting as of 2016.
-
The '''7.62x54mm R''' is the oldest military cartridge and among the rare rimmed cartridges still in regular service in military forces in the world. Developed in 1891, it is more than 120 years old. The '''R''' in its name stands for Rimmed, but it was a common misconception to believe it meant &quot;Russian&quot;.
+
-
Originally developed for the famous [[IZHMASH Mosin-Nagant M1891|Mosin-Nagant rifle]], it saw and still sees use nowadays in sniper rifles, such as the well-known [[IZHMASH SVD Dragunov|Dragunov sniper rifle]] and machine guns, such as the '''PKM''' or the [[TsNIITochMash PKP Pecheneg|PKP]].
+
As of today, the cartridge still performs a general-purpose role similar to that of modern-day [[7.62x51mm NATO]], being still used in light and medium machine guns and precision rifles for snipers and designated marksmen. It also sees extensive use in the civilian market, largely thanks to the millions of Mosin-Nagant rifles that ended up as military surplus having ended up in civilian hands, as well as the billions of rounds of surplus Russian ammunition, making the acquisition of a 7.62x54mm R rifle and ammunition easy and affordable.

+
-
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 &quot;Russian Thirty-Aught-Six&quot; 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.
