Here are the start points 0:20 7.62x25 1:18 7.62x38R 3:24 7.62x35 (300BLK) 4:28 7.62x39 5:22 7.62x45 8:10 7.62x51 9:38 7.62x54R 11:40 7.62x63 (30-06) 12:50 7.62x67 (WinMag) 13:50 7.5x55

My dad used to confuse the 7.62 NATO with the 30-06. He's pretty old (not that old), and This helped him see and understand the difference.

Mosin and Mauser shels, the nightmare for metal detectors in Poland :)

FYI: 7.5mm is considerably smaller than .307/.308. The reason the cartridge has a 7.5mm designation is because the original 19th century bullets for 7.5x55 swiss, actually were 7.5mm and wrapped with a paper patch. The paper patch was later removed and the diameter of the bullet was increased.

.300 Win. mag has been adopted by the USMC for snipers.

.30-06 Springfield originated in 1903 with the '03 Springfield (US National Armory) rifle. The .30-03 (or .30-45) used a 45 grain powder charge and 220 gr projectile and was basically old news from the beginning. The 1906 update gave us the warhorse we know today with 150-180 gr Spitzers.

Very informative. I thought i just knew about the 7.62x51 and 7.62x39, love learning about different projectiles almost as much as the various firearms. Thanks once again

the belt on rounds like 300 win-mag isn't to increase case strength or make a better gas seal, its for headspacing

Wow , quite a bit of 7.62 , Solid Info... thanxs!!!!

I saw that Vz.52 on the wall at the very beginning of the vid and you instantly earned a subscriber. Excellent collection.

Just exactly the info I was looking for, thanks for clearing up the confusion!

Great info, that clears up a lot. Thanks for your time.

I love that you threw in the 7.5 Swiss, I have to explain it to my friends all the time

It is a Military round now. The U.S. Army changed the M24 to the 300 win Mag now. For longer range. Good Video. Very interesting

Your videos are amazing love the history! 30.06 lover here and I’ll be adding your video to my favs

I really enjoyed the 7.62 video! Great information very fun to watch thanks alot!

Cool to see the 7.62x45 round get some love here. Definitely not the easiest round to obtain but a very interesting weapon system in vz52. One of my favorite rifles in my collection.

7.62x72mm = 300 H&H 7.62x47mm = 300 Savage 7.62x53m = 300 WSM

Great video. Very informative. And for those that missed it he did say there were others in the 7.62 family but that would be for another time.

I have one of those too. Yeah I mean each one of those. Cool video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Learned something new today, thank you sir! I always thought the 7.62 x 56 was the '06. Now I gotta look that up and see what it is! have a great day sir.

The belt on the 300 win mag is not for case strength. It operates at the same pressures as most modern cartridges. The belt is a leftover feature from the H&H cartridges which needed it for headspaceing. 300wm, 7mm RM, ect. headspace off the shoulder, and the belt is just there to make it "look''' more like a magnum cartridge.

A beginners guide to 7.62 .. Very informative.

THANK YOU for making sure you've got great audio.

Excellent! Everything I thought I wanted to know + more.

Thanks for the info. I am just that much closer to a better understanding of the different calibers.

The best explanation I’ve ever heard. Thanks

You missed 30:03 USA, 30:40 Krag USA, 30 Mauser, 30 Luger, 30:30 Winchester, 300 Savage. Anyone know any others? I'm not actually complaining. I really enjoyed this video. You're very down to Earth and easy to understand while also handing out relevant information. Thank you and good day.

very interesting and informative video. Thanks for making this video!

Great video and useful information. Thank a lot!

my M&P10 with 5R rifling was the most accurate .308 ive ever owned or shot! wish i could post you the pick of my 100 yard target!

7.62 x 45 was AWESOME caliber. I had one of those and the 7.62x 39 conversion. I always though it was a good calibre and would have been a good intermediary between 7.62x 51. A little less hit power a lot less recoil

Great job with this video! I "liked", "sub'd" and hit the bell on the strength of this posting. You missed two of my favorite, but you did an excellent job on the rest. Thanks for posting

The 30-06 is an excellent cartridge, I don't have a rifle for that caliber but I have rifles with cartridges based on the 30-06, a Savage 110 E target rifle in the 25-06 Rem and a Ruger M77 in the 280 Rem. I also have a Springfield M1A with a synthetic stock and a Ruger M77 MKII target rifle in the .308 Winchester. It's worth noting that you can shoot .308 cartridges in the M1A but not the 7.62x51 in a bolt action, I also load/reload my own ammo and I've always kept the brass cases for both rifles separate. I also have a Ruger M77 in the .300 Win magnum that I use for hunting.

The belt on the 300 win mag is not for added strength, it was for head spacing due to its parent cartridge the 300 h&h Magnum.

Great talk on the 7.62 ammo...i just found a 200 round blister pack of 7.62x63 mil unopened. look brand new made in 1971. works great in my 1903 Springfield ser#105,384

Thanks for the history lesson. Very informative.

thank you, for the straight scoop on 7.62

.312 bullet diameters was because of the British influence in Europe. the Smele was .303 but the bullet was typically .311 - .312 in diameter. The Ruskies were influenced a great deal by the Brits.

You missed the late great .300 Holland and Holland which reigned supreme in Africa as a good all rounder for medium game. Tks for a great video.

I love the Nagants. I have 3 antique rifles and an 1895 revolver (the one that can be suppressed). They have so much history.

I would like to see all these rounds in a ballistics gel or vs body armor.

The belt on the 300WM is not for strength but for head spacing. as is for all the belted mags.

Fantastic knowledge.... u sure know what you are talking about!!! Great collection .... Thank you for sharing

Nice presentation. Thank you.

Super informative! That vz52 is awesome!

Excellent video. So I can load my SKS bullets in my 303 Brit cases. Thanks.

Missed the 7.62x33 (aka .30 Carbine). I suppose there was also the 7.35x51 Carcano, the 7.7x56R (.303 British) and the 7.7x58 Arisaka.

Excellent video and I suscribed immediatelly, very informative

I love this subject.... So many different rounds for pretty much the same bullet

Not sure if you are active in the comments but two years back I went on a fishing trip in central Ontario, we had to fly in on seaplanes that’s how secluded we were. No roads, except maybe a logging trail here and there. Found a very old trappers camp on an island, several shells for the mosin nagant round and the buttstock of one. Did research when I got home and it turns out they are still somewhat widely used in areas near the Arctic due to their reliability. The actions and the cartridges never freeze

Awesome informative presentation

When I was in Basic Training, the drill sergeant was explaining the M240B. He explained that it fired 7.62 ammo. Anyone who knows anything knows he was referring the 7.62x51 NATO. I also did, but still asked him which 7.62, x39, x51, x54, x56 or x63. While I didn't do any pushups over it (he knew I was right to point that out), he did tell me, in very clear terms, to be quiet. That particular DS was one of the ones who went out of their way to teach us stuff, so he did explain the difference later on.

Hey, I just found you great channel man..deff subbing

Sir u are super fn smart I have alot of knowledge on this kind of stuff but there are few that are even close to as accurate as u props for that keep up the good work and thanks for the info 😉

Great video! Thanks for the knowledge

Awesome video, man. Great infotainment... Liked & Subscribed 😉👍🇨🇦

Love my K31 - did well at the military 30 cal shooting competition.

I learned so much. Thank you very much.

Very informative. Good video.

good job. Very thorough

Good video, thank you for the effort

Old video but we in Finland used 7.62x53R which is basically the same as 7.62x54R but our own make for our model of the mosin nagant style rifle we used in the wars.

could've added that the 54R in modern use is fed to machineguns like PKM and such, also used in small variety of other russian/soviet weapons. That said, I learned a few more obsucre 7.62 options that I never knew of.

Wow , Great Video . Thank You

Thank you, great video

Thanks for the information. I would see ammo for sale and had no idea what the difference was. It would be great to have a comparison chart.

Had no idea about all that. Thanks!

7.62x25 is my favorite pistol cartridge second to the 40 s&w. If you get a ppsh 43c it really shows off the capability of the cartridge

The short lived 30-40 Krag/ 30 Army. Great video.

I am super happy with all the information in this video, learned a lot! But I was surprised you didn’t mention the FN FAL when you got to the 7.62x51!!! What an iconic rifle to skip with that round!! Still, awesome video, and I really learned a lot! 👍🏻

glad i bought the 1970 waterproof pack of 7.63x63NA 200 rounds. opened em up...looked like they was made yesterday...fired great in my 1903 Springfield #105384, for 1 hundred bucks!

Great video!

Small point. The belt on belted cases was intended to be used for headspaceing, just like the rim of rimmed cartridges, but to also eliminate the issue of rim lock encountered with rimmed cartridges. It wasn't intended to provide additional support for higher pressures. Almost all belted magnums used the 375 H&H as the parent case, and that was the reason for the belt. Many moons later, we know that headspaceing off the shoulder of the case is more accurate, but the 375 came along when rimmed cartridges were what was being used.

Cool info. Thank you.

this video summed up for me for the 7.62 i would think which 7.62 do the Airplanes use in War? also cool Studio Ammo Hut Man Cave shack LoL nice really nice👍🏼 I love that mosin thats a Beaut

.220 Swift is also valuable for reforming into 6.5x50mmSR Japanese. Expand the neck with a 6mm neck expander then expand with 6.5mm expander. Then full length size with 8mm lebel to start setting the shoulder, then full length size with 6.5 Carcano and then finish off with full length sizing with your 6.5 Japanese die. Trim to length, you can then ream the neck if you wish as well as annealing.

I agree: AR 10 is super accurate with a huge punch. Bought a new one and out of the box, I was so surprised. My 87 year old dad is old school and he laughed when he saw the gun. He asked, WTH u want that toy for? We were at my range and I had a pie plate at 150 yards. I pulled the gun up to my shoulder and shot 10 quick shots offhand. Run down and retrieved the plate. Brought it back and all 10 had hit the plate. Dad got real quiet! Lol

The 7,62x25 was used in the PPSh 41 and the PPS 43.

Good one all the different 7.62 crazy

2 notable absences are the 30 Carbine (7.62x33mm) and the 30-30 (7,62x51mmR).

7,62x45 is also used in a lot of soviet machine guns, and was originally in SA vz. 58, before soviets decided it has to be in 7,62x39.

7.62 NATO round , FNC -1A1 ,FNC-2 , and the GPMG ,in CF usage . Thank you. This through the 1960s up until the late 1980s .

7.62x25 aka the boomer five-seven for its ability to penetrate soft body armor.

Helpful as hell

The 7.62x67 is a military cartridge and used in the enhanced sniper system M2010

The 300 AAC Blackout round is from 110 grain to 260 grain.

Excellent! 7.62X39 is my favorite rifle round.

Love that VZ-52, didn't even know it existed.

That 7.62x54 was also used in the SVT 40 semi auto, I wish I would have bought one of them instead of my SKS because they are very hard to find now and very pricy if you do find them. When I was first looking at them they were going for about 350.00 CAD and the SKS was going for 200.00 to 250.00 CAD and I foolishly bought the SKS, you can still get SKS's relatively cheap now around 300.00 to 350.00 CAD.

In the Middle East most common use of 7.62x54 is for PKM machine gun and Dragunov sniper rifle. 7.62x51 for FAL rifle. 7.62x39 for AK and RPK rifles. 7.62x25 for Tokarev pistol.

Several usa units field the 300 win mag usmc and the SEAL teams . Cool video great info

Glad you said that either way is correct in reference to pronouncing Garand. Too many people make such a big deal over that and it gets old really quick🤣

just saying, Tokarev 7.62 x 25 is a Soviet's adoption of C96 Mauser, the 30 caliber Mauser, the very broom-handle Mauser young W. Churchill's favorite handgun

Some interesting info. Good video.

7.62×40. You can convert the primers over to the American Standard primers with a copper bushing made out of a piece of copper tube and you will have easily reloadable, non-corrosive brass.

very informative thanks dude !

Nice stuff. I have a FAL ( Fusil Automatique Léger ) also very nice, 20 rounds magazine and if i want automatic, great fun. Also 7.62 mm.

Cool video bro. I enjoyed it

TY! gud info. I did not know x63/x67. my Baby for past 40yrs! Rem 7.2.1. Many, many gud memories. My wife's 1st Honey SKS. she let's me shoot it, occasionally, when I've been a very gud boy!
