It is a rifle round used in Soviet weapons such as the Mosin Nagant M1891, for which it was designed, the DP LMG, and the SVT-40. It was initially a very advanced late-XIX Century smokeless powder rifle cartridge, and has never left service since. While the 7.62x39 became the prime assault rifle cartridge, only to be replaced by the 5.45x39 mm, the battle-proven 7.62x54 remains the rifle round of choice for former Eastern Block countries.
