The box described as holding 20 rounds of 7.62x51 ammo, upon emptying, reveals 20 rounds of 7.62mm ammo suitable for use in the Mosin. The Mosin fires 7.62x54 Rimmed ammunition. A box of 7.62x51 ammunition should not contain 7.62mm ammunition suitable for use in a Mosin. The 7.62x51 ammunition is appropriate for use in firearms such as the M-24, M-40, many NATO machine guns, and civilian rifles which are chambered in .308.
TLDR -- 7.62x51 ammunition and 7.62x54 R ammunition are not interchangeable. {F29898} {F29899} {F29900}
