<h2>Synonyms</h2>7.62 mm Mosin Nagant; 7.62 × 53R; 7.62 mm Soviet Rimmed; 7.62 mm M1891<h2>Armament</h2>All Russian and Soviet Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifles; SVD (Dragunov) sniper rifle; SV-98 sniper rifle; DP, DT, RP-46 , SG-43, SGM and PK/PKM machine guns.<h2>Development</h2>The 7.62 mm Mosin-Nagant is the oldest cartridge still in first-line service, having been introduced into Russian service in 1891 with the Mosin-Nagant `Three-Line' rifle. It was adopted as the standard infantry cartridge for subsequent rifles and machine guns, and since it has superior long-range performance over the 7.62 × 39 mm cartridge, has been kept in use for general purpose machine guns and sniper rifles. It has also been adopted by other countries using Russian weapons, particularly China and Finland , but may now be found anywhere, especially where Soviet or Chinese influences distributed the appropriate weapons.<h2>Description</h2>The case is rimmed, bottlenecked and may be of brass- or copper-coated steel. The base is part-convex with a Berdan or Boxer primer. A variety of bullets have been used over the years, but the current standards are the boat tail Ball LPS, steel cored with a GMCS jacket and the Heavy Ball D, streamlined and with a lead core in GMCS jacket.<h2>Manufacturer</h2>Unis Igman d.o.o.Type: Ball M87 : FMJ; 9.6 g; V 25 825-840 m/sTracer M87 : FMJ; 9.4 g, green tip; V 25 800-815 m/s API B32: FMJ; 10.3 g black/red tip; 800-815 m/sBULGARIA<h2>Manufacturer</h2>KintexType: Ball M908/30: FMJ; steel core in lead sheath, GMCS jacket; brass case; 9.6 g; MV 825 m/sHeavy Ball M1930: Lead core, steel jacket, gilding metal envelope; 12 g; MV 810 m/sTracer T-46 Mod 1930: FMJ; lead core, steel jacket, gilding metal envelope; red trace to 1,000 m; 9.6g; MV 825 m/sBlank: Steel case, brass-coated, rose crimp<h2>Manufacturer</h2>ArsenalType: Ball M1930: FMJ; steel core in lead jacket, cupro-nickel envelope; steel or brass case; 9.6 g; V 25828 m/sTracer T-46 Mod 1930: FMJ; lead core, steel jacket, gilding metal envelope; red trace to 1,000 m; 9.65g; V 25 797 m/s Blank: Steel case, brass-coated, rose crimp; charge 1.6 g HPL/P-80CHINA , PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC<h2>Manufacturer</h2>China North Industries (NORINCO)Type: Ball Type 53: FMJ; 9.6 g; MV 840 m/sBall Type 53: FMJ; steel core; 9.6 g; MV 820-835 m/sAP-I Type 53: FMJ, AP steel core; 9.95 g; MV 800-815 m/sTracer Type 53: FMJ; 9.66 g; MV 800-815 m/sIncendiary-ranging Type 53: FMJ; 10 g; MV 800 m/s<h2>Manufacturer</h2>State arsenalsType: Ball, Heavy, D: FMJ; 11.98 g; MV 818 m/sBall, Light, LPS: FMJ; 9.65 g; MV 870 m/sTracer T46: FMJ; 9.65 g; non-streamlined; MV 870 m/sTracer T: FMJ; 9.59 g; dark ignition, tracing to 2,000 mAP B30: FMJ, SL; hard steel core, lead sleeve, steel jacket, gilding metal envelope; 11.92 g; penetration10 mm at 700 mAP-I B32: FMJ, SL; steel core with incendiary composition in the nose; 10.04 g; MV 870 m/sAP-I BS40: FMJ; non-streamlined, tungsten carbide core with incendiary pellet in the nose; 12.11 g;MV 805 m/sAP-I-T BZT: FMJ; non-streamlined, steel core with incendiary composition in nose and tracer in base;9.2 gIncendiary-Obs ZP: FMJ; non-streamlined, steel jacket with incendiary pellet in nose, explosiveprimer beneath and an inertia striker; 10.36 gCZECH REPUBLIC<h2>Manufacturer</h2>Sellier & BellotType: Ball: FMJ; 11.7 g; MV 786 m/sBall: JSP; 11.7 g; MV 800 m/sEGYPT<h2>Manufacturer</h2>Aboukir Engineering IndustriesType: Ball: FMJ; 8 g; MV 780 m/sTracer: FMJ, rear tracer to 1.5 seconds.
