Name ONE advantage 7.62x54R has over .308/7.62 NATO, Slavboos.

>>33188035
Is there a .308 Nugget?

>>33188035
yeah no shit 54r was popular because it used to be cheap not because it was better than anything else.

7.62x39 is fucking cute holy shit

>dat taper
>smooth lines
>thicc

>>33188051
There is.

>>33188035
it was 1/4 the cost

More reliable extraction.

>>33188035
>name advantage of an equivalent cartridge
Lol

8mm and 30-06 is better than both anyway.

>>33188035
Big rim allows for easier extractions in extreme conditions.
Greater case capacity means better performance with heavier (180gr+) bullets.

There, two advantages.

rimmed for the extractor's pleasure

>>33188086
unfortunately that ship has sailed.

t. man with bolt action hard on

>>33188089
>more reliable extraction

You don't get any more reliable than rimless cartridges.

>>33188066
7.62x39 is the thicc loli battle rifle cartridge

Molot was supposed to be making a .308 Nugget but on their website it only shows the new production nuggets in 7.62x54r.

>>33188035
There was an attempt.

>>33188143
Yes you do. If you have more for the extractor to grip, it is more reliable, ESPECIALLY if you are dealing with high pressures. Why do you think African big game cartridges are generally rimmed?

>>33188184
>tfw I have an x54r nugget
I feel like I should sell this thing before x54r is kill

>>33188035
API B-32 bullet.
Made from steel.
Lightest LMG.
Lightest DMR.

>>33188035
Shouldn't we really be comparing it to 30-06 since they were both designed at the same time?

>>33188035
You can't shoot .308 out of a revolver without moon clips.

>>33188035
sex appeal
>checkmate faget

>>33188035
There is one major advantage.
>He is rimmed for the extractor's pleasure

>>33188035
8mm is in the pic, who cares about the other two lol

>>33188170
>7.62x39
>Battle rifle cartridge
Pick one

Headspaces on the rim.

>>33188219
Russian machine guns still use 54r.

>"R-rims mean better extraction so rimmed is more reliable!"
>does not take rimlock into acccount

>>33188360
Please critique my shitposting further

>>33188219
>implying x54R will ever be kill

I don't know about other countries, but Russia will continue using that shit for a long, long time

>>33188377
still 50 cents a round

>>33188293
>implying in steel case can ever have sex appeal

>>33188035
Slightly more powerful.

>>33188366
No it doesn't.

>>33188406
>beta detected

>>33188394
As opposed to rounds like .308 or 8mm that cost more?

>>33188035
Better extraction due to the tapered case

Case neck length, more is better

>>33190521
lol what

>>33188238
No since x54 and x51 are close dimensionally and still in current use.

Really the only legit advantage is the PKM and it's offspring and the massive amounts of ammo laying around, but there are x51 versions of the pkp iirc

>>33188427
whut

>>33188386
implying every firearm that uses rimmed cartridges is a integral mag fed bolt action. Better extraction for belt fed MGs like the PKM and no rim lock because belt fed.

>>33188326
Fuck 8mm

>>33188035
Goes out a 1000 yards meme.
