- 7.62x39:The 7.62×39 cartridge was introduced in 1944 and represents an early intermediate cartridge. While the intermediate 7.92×33 Kurz precedes the 7.62×39, the latter is still in common use today while the other has been completely phased out of conventional usage. The cartridge officially entered service in 1945 and served as the standard issue military cartridge for the Soviets for most of the Cold War, still seeing some limited usage today. Beyond the Soviet Union, countless other countries on nearly every continent have utilized the cartridge in one form or another. This is mainly due to the fact that many surplus firearms worked their way around the globe as newer equipment became available and countries sold off or exported surplus arms.
- 7.62x54r:The 7.62x54r was developed by the Russian Empire and introduced in 1891. The cartridge was developed alongside the Model 1891 Mosin-Nagant rifle. After its introduction, the cartridge was utilized in other rifles and machine guns used by the Soviet Union and other powers. Notable examples of other firearms chambered in the cartridge include the Dragunov (SVD), SV-98, and PKM machine gun.

The cartridge is one of the most prevalent military surplus rounds in existence and is extremely popular among shooters in the United States. The full-sized rifle cartridge has generally been compared to the American .30-06 Springfield and .308 Winchester rounds.
