sometimes shop clerks think the x54r is Russian but its Rimmed, because the mosen likes extra pleasure. Unlike the 7.62 / 308 that's not rimed and not what i was expecting to be in the crate.. But lesson learned on my end XD

It's actually really simple, 7.62x54r is soviet ammo. 7.62x51 NATO is American/ 308
