TULA NATO 7.62 LR Primers

Get them now, Comrade! Funny that the only primers we can find are from Russia. It would appear they actually won the Cold War after all... LOL

The KVB-7 is what you want. Neither KVB-762 and KVB-7M perform as well as the KVB-7. Still, if you're desperate...

OP, they are meant to be used in a auto loader.

Has there been a study done comparing the three? What are the differences?

See if German Salazar has any info on his Riflemans Journal page.

His article list the Russian LR primers as PMC LR so something like that.

I tested all three with the same, known good powder charge. There was no significant, average velocity difference. KVB-7M and KVB-762 had approximately double the ES of KVB-7 primers. KVB-7 is the standard, large rifle primer. This may be attributable to harder cups on the other two causing less uniform primer ignition.
