The Russian Empire first developed the cartridge in 1891 for the Mosin-Nagant rifle, which now has the longest service life of any military issue cartridge. The 7.62 x 54mmR is one of just a few military issue rimmed cartridges, and features a full metal jacket light ball bullet with mild steel core, Berdan primers, and a steel case. This is a sealed tin containing 440 corrosive rounds of light ball ammunition.

Note: Can opener is NOT included. It can be purchased separately (#285886).
