View Full Version : Case Identification...
I don't know if the case I have is military or not, but I will try it here...
Wonder what case I have:
Length: 2.110
Rim: 0.562
Base: 0.488 (Directly in front of the rim)
Shoulder: 0.461
Neck: 0.337 (At case mouth)
On the rim there is a
*
6
10
51
8 at various locations on the rim
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Sounds Like the 7.62x54r based on the dims given. I would have to dig up my headstap refrence to be sure, that sounds like a typical headstamp for the big Ruski. You didnt say if it was brass or steel?

My thought is at least provide a photo or scan.

Well, a magnet doesn't stick to it and it is brass colored...
Is that the cartridge that is associated with the Mosin-Nagant rifle?...
I looked at a picture of the cartridge you mentioned and it looks like that critter...
I also compared the data on that cartridge in the Cartridges of the World and it sure seems that is the one...
I just didn't know were to start in that reference book...
Thanks...BCB

Yep, Mosin Nagant and a few other Russian/ commie guns.
Lots & Lots of good CHEAP Fun to be had there!!!
If you dont have a MN you Need to Get one while they are still cheap ($100 & Under) . Ammo has went up but still cheap for a full power center fire..
