The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I've decided that 7.62x54r is just too darned long to type. So from now on I dub it...the .310 Commie! Who's with me?
Yeah, I know it has more characters... but it has a nice ring to it.

Well when you consider that it was designed while Russia was still Russia the first time, you might want to call it .310 Imperial. Now the 7.62 x 39 might be up for your "Commie" label.

7.62 Mosin?

.310 Imperial...I like that...

Just type x54.

Or 54r

I just use 54r and X39 when the post is concerning either of those two calibers.

It used to be called 7.62 Russian a long time ago. or 7.62 Russ.

Very cute guys. I call it ammo.

If you are changing all of those you might as well cahnge 7.62x51 too....You could call it nato or maybe even put up some new numbers like maybe ...Um 308?

.310 Commie sounds like a very big & heavyset Russian dude with a real bad disposition.... And .310 Imperial makes me think of a big ol' Chrysler....

I'll stick with 7.62x54r or 54r or even just plain "ammo" as LC suggested.

Overweight Reds and Underpowered Mopars. I think you have the correct idea for these "names" even though I came up with one.

I shot my first 7.62X54R this week-end. I called it "Woah!"
