The 7.62x54mmR is one of the oldest cartridges still in use by any military in the world. The Russian military uses it in the Dragunov SVD, as well as other sniper rifles and general purpose machine guns. The round is colloquially (and incorrectly, as the 'R' in 7.62x54R stands for rimmed) known as the "7.62 Russian" or "Russian 30-06". The name is sometimes confused with the "7.62 Soviet", which refers to the 7.62x39mm cartridge. The 7.62x54mmR cartridge is also one of the few rimmed bottleneck cartridges still in common use today.
