I had a number of sets of dies given to me recently. One set is as above. Just which cartridge is this and which rifles shoot it? Dave

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

7.62 Russian icon

could be 7.62x54r or 7.62x39 and they are two completely different rounds.
7.62x39 is used in the SKS, AK etc.
7.62x54r in used in the Mosin Nagant, SVT, M39 etc.

**Claven2** · 03-03-2007 07:37 PM

chances are it's 7.62x54R.

**woodchopper** · 03-05-2007 04:02 PM

I saw both 7.62x39 and x54R the other day in Wholesale Sports. Lee makes them so it could be either.

but not too many reloaders are going to be reloading for the SKS / AK

I'm going to start reloading 7.62X39 (I just started X54r), better ammo has just got to improve my SKS accuracy

7.62 russian could be 7.62 Nagant no?

**Claven2** · 04-11-2007 08:08 AM

Anything is possible, but it being 7.62 Nagant is doubtful. For one thing, that's pistol caliber and I would think it would be obvious if they were pistol dies.

I have been through a number of different 7.62 Russian icon
