# Is there a difference between 7.62x54 and 7.6254R calibers? May they

To the best of my knowledge there is only one 7.62 x 54mm and that's
the Russian round. I've seen it refered to as the 7.62 x 54 and the
7.62 x 54R. They are the same cartridge.

There is no difference. The Russian 7.62x54R cartridge is rimmed even if the
"R" is left off the designation.

True in most African hunting rifles, but in this case it's about the
Russian military round, which is, oddly enough, rimmed.

The difference is that the 7,62x54R is rimmed, while 7,62x54 is
rimless :-)
