7.62x54r
The 7.62×54mmR is a rimmed rifle cartridge developed by the Russian Empire and introduced as a service cartridge in 1891. Originally designed for the bolt-action Mosin–Nagant rifle, it was used during the late tsarist era and throughout the Soviet period to the present day. The cartridge remains one of the few standard-issue rimmed cartridges still in military use, and has one of the longest service lives of any military-issued cartridge.The American Winchester Model 1895 was also chambered for this cartridge per a contract with the Russian government. The 7.62×54mmR is still in use by the Russian military in the Dragunov, SV-98 and other sniper rifles, as well as some modern general-purpose machine guns like the PKM and Pecheneg machine gun. Originally, the round was designated "Трехлинейный патрон образца 1891 года" – (three-line cartridge model of 1891). It then became widely known under the designation "7,62мм винтовочный патрон" (7.62 mm rifle cartridge). The round has erroneously come to be known as the "7.62mm Russian" (and is still often referred to as such colloquially), but, according to standards, the R in designation (7.62×54mmR) stands for "rimmed", in line with standard C.I.P. designations. The name is sometimes confused with the "7.62 Soviet" round, which refers to the rimless 7.62×39mm cartridge used in the SKS and AK-based (AK-47, AK-15, AEK-973) rifles.
I have 3 unopened cans of 7.62x54r and one can opener. $150 each. If you are in the Eugene area, I can meet at Cabelas. I can meet at Cabelas in Portland on the 2nd if you are up that way.

I bought this on impulse several years ago. I think I only ended up shooting it once, if that. It was used when I bought it, but I don't think it has had many rounds through it.
Comes with two mags, 8x42 scope, and an unopened tin of 440 rounds of ammo.

I have a Mosin sporter being built and will need to determine the maximum C.O.L. for my handloads. I would like to find at least one 7.62x54R case (steel or brass) to sacrifice in order to construct an overall length case gauge.
Does anyone have a case or two rattling around in their range bag...
