    early Russian 7,62x54r

    The Russians used the early round nose FMJ 210 gr bullet until replaced in 1908 by the 148 gr spitzer bullet (which took years to replace)

    The US Cartridge headstamp on your cartridge has the early Russianicon round nose bullet

    I have a 45-70 case with the US Cartridge headstamp too
