7.62 NAGANT Ammo

The 7.62 Nagant (aka 7.62x38mmR) is primarily fired in Russia’s Nagant M1895 (a somewhat unique revolver owing to its compatibility with a suppressor). This .30 cal round is usually loaded with a 97 grain full metal jacket (FMJ) projectile – not ideal for self-defense, but not remotely incapable of incapacitating a threat with proper aim, either. Note that a Nagant M1895 can also safely fire easier-to-find 32 S&W, 32 S&W Long and 32 H&R Magnum ammunition.
