A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

With the 54r .311" is the norm but some old Mosins will slug out at .314 or 15 depending on the amount of use they’ve had.My issued '39 Izhevsk 91/30 is .313" but still shoots well enough with standard .311" milsurp, whereas my unissued '44 M44 carbine is pretty much on the money at .311"

Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank.....give a man a bank and he can rob the world!.
More than a vested interest in 7.62x54r!
