9M32

9M32 is a Soviet 7.62x54mmR rifle cartridge, introduced in 1932. It is notable for being the first cartridge to use a steel case, which replaced the previously used brass cases. This change improved the cartridge's performance and reliability. The 9M32 cartridge is used in the Mosin-Nagant rifle, a bolt-action rifle that was widely used by the Soviet Union and its allies during World War II. The cartridge's design is based on the 7.62x54mmR cartridge, which was developed by the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. The 9M32 cartridge is known for its high velocity and accuracy, making it a popular choice for military and sporting use. It is still used in some modern rifles, including the Mosin-Nagant M91/30.
