Hello All,

I've recently acquired a Russian Nagant revolver. The limited info I got with it says it is chambered in 7.62x38R caliber.

I cannot find any reference to the caliber. On the Load Data web site I can find reference to a "7.62x39 Russian" caliber but not the '38R' chambering.

My questions:
1. Is the '7.62x38R' and the '7.62x 39 Russian' actually the same cartridge or are they different?
2. Where could I find a reputable source for ammo in the U.S.?

Thanks in advance,
Longfeather
