7.62x54mmR (7.62 Rimmed)

The 7.62x54mmR is chambered primarily in the Russian SVD and the Mosin-Nagant Model 1891-30, which is a very popular sniper rifle in Eastern European countries. I am fairly impressed with the 7.62R, it is roughly the equivalent to the .30-06, offering plenty of energy and good ballistics. 600m hits should be no problem for a reasonably good sniper.
