I understand that the Finnish have used the 7.62X54R for just about as many wildcats as we have used the 308/30-06 for. I'd like to see a list of what has been done on this case, don't know where to look. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Is a copy of the 2000 Gun Digest. "Children of the 7.62X54R" by Janne Pohojoispaa. He lists a 5.7, 6.3, 7, 8.2, 9, 9.3, .375, .416, 11.6. Hope that helps. I think a M44 bored out to 9mm would be a real attention getter!!!

Sorry for digging up old thread, but I was browsing old threads and found this. Wanted to tell that in addition to bravokilo´s reply, there is also .338 M&K. M&K stands fo Metsastys & Kalastus outdoor magazine. (=Hunting & Fishing) That round was designed in 1990´s for Russian M95 Winchester. I lost the magazine somewhere, so I can´t tell much about it. I´m not sure if there are any other guns chambered for it.
Found some specs over case in Ammoguide (http://ammoguide.com/cgi-bin/ai.cgi?sn=pVEffhxEli&catid=299=pLYfVDJbvN)

Edit: It seems like CH4D is making dies for it. :shock:
