Why is 7.62x51mmR a NATO round while 7.62x54 is not? I know this

>R
no

you sorta answered your own question

because they dont want to use the same ammo that the enemies use, to prevent enemy combatants from looting the ammo from corpses.

>>30761171
I reversed those desu. I blame drinks and carelessness.

>>30761161
>why are these completely different rounds different?
Because theyre different rounds.

But, in extreme situations, can't you rig a .223 Win. to shoot a 7.62 NATO?

Also, Why isn't the Mosin-meme round NATO? That is my real question, I guess.

>>30761225
Because nato doesnt use 7.62x54r

That's what I meant, I'm just drunk. You can't blame me, I had to watch the DNC! Who can do that sober?

7.62x54r is 7.62x54, the r only means its rimmed.

Awwwww... Its cute to see someone, with no understanding of basic economics or political science, pretend to know the future of a country. Keep trying, kiddo, you'll get it. I believe in you!

>Why is 7.62x51 a NATO round while 7.62x54R is not?

Because they only Nato members that would have large stocks of them should be send them over to feed ammerican's hungry hungry guns.

Also the governments concerned can use the changeover as a jobs program for the arms and ammo factories.

If poland said fuck it lets ask nato to make 54 a nato standard they would have less reason for a contract to the ammo factory to send them so many thousand rounds of ammo to add to their war reserve and training allotments.

>7.62x51mm
This is not RIMMED, therefore there is no rim on the base of the cartridge.
>Why isn't 54r NATO?
Because NATO did not choose to use it? Duh. That was the idea of NATO, to set some standards between the western militaries so that in the event of Soviet-driven WW3, the Western armies (US, [West]Germany, Britain, France) would atleast be able to share ammunition and other front-line essentials if needed.
There's a whole lot of other bullshit that goes with NATO that I won't get into, this is the barebones, boiled-down TL;DR version.

It has like a little flange going around the bottom of the casing. See my pic. 7.62x54r is the fucking big one that looks all coppery. 7.62x51mm, AKA .308 Winchester, is the next one to the right. It is considered rimless, even though it has a base designed for an extractor claw to grab onto.

>>30761161
The same reason that brits use a "u" in color.

>>30761463
Oh, okay. Thank you. So, if I understand, the rim isn't on the bullet, it is on the casing for the extractor claw?

>>30761487
>So, if I understand, the rim isn't on the bullet, it is on the casing for the extractor claw?

Right. I don't know why the fuck they designed it that way, but it remains one of the few modern small-arms calibers to have it, along with shotguns as also seen in my pic.

>>30761505
Interesting. Thank you for the information. Have a nice night.
