PPU 7.62mm Russian Nagant Ammo - 50 Rounds

Nagant Revolver Ammo

This is factory-new 7.62x38R ammunition from PPU's Handgun Line, loaded for the Nagant M1895 revolver. Collectors and shooters who own an M1895 often have trouble finding fresh ammunition made to its unusual cartridge design, and this box fills that gap. Each box holds 50 centerfire rounds with a 98 grain flat point jacketed bullet.

Features

• 7.62x38R Nagant Caliber — The R means rimmed, and this is the correct cartridge for the Nagant M1895 revolver, also sold as 7.62mm Russian Nagant.
• Fully Seated Bullet — The bullet sits entirely inside the brass case, which matches the original design meant to work with the M1895's gas-seal cylinder.
• 98 Grain FPJ Bullet — FPJ means flat point jacketed, a copper-jacketed bullet with a flat nose, and it weighs 98 gr (6.35 g).
• 738 FPS Muzzle Velocity — The load is rated at 738 feet per second with 118 foot-pounds of muzzle energy.
• Boxer-Primed Brass Cases — The cases use a single central primer pocket, so handloaders can deprime and reload them with standard tools.
• Non-Corrosive Priming — The primers leave no corrosive salts behind, so you don't need the immediate water cleaning that old surplus ammunition demands.
• Centerfire Ignition — The primer sits in the center of the case head, as on most modern handgun ammunition.
• 50-Round Box — Each box holds 50 cartridges, labeled with caliber, bullet type and weight on the front and end panels.

Built For The M1895

Léon Nagant designed the cartridge in 1894, and the Russian military adopted it in 1895 alongside the revolver that still bears his name. The case extends past the bullet so the case mouth can seal the gap between cylinder and barrel when the M1895 fires. PPU is the brand name of Prvi Partizan, a Serbian ammunition maker in operation since 1928, and this load follows the original cartridge layout in new brass.
