It shouldn't. There are multiple different 7.62x54r milsurp bullet weights, 148 is just the most commonly seen now. 220, 203, and 180 grn bullets were also used by various militaries.

It's Winchester, what all commie ammo wishes it was, you will be fine.

If your gun is in good working order it will eat any 7.62x54r that you feed it! The plus to your ammo is its not corrosive, still need to clean it but not like the milsurp ammo! The negative is its a little more expensive! Enjoy shooting that beauty!

The heaviest I have shot is 203 gr soft point and it was great, just kicks a little bit more. You are good to go. Great hunting round by the way.
