Re: 7.62x54
For the smaller brained amongst us, what's the difference between 7.62x54 and x 53 ? Other than the 1 mm of course. As we understand it, the x54R is the standard Russian round and x53 the Finnish equivalent. Is the 53 interchangeable with the 54 ? (Though not, presumably, the other way around?)

The 7.62×53mmR is practically interchangeable with the 7.62×54mmR, the 54R will fit into the smallest allowed chamber size for the 53R, but is nevertheless a different cartridge made to different C.I.P. standards. Using military steel-jacketed 54R Russian ammunition in weapons made for 53R is not recommended (except the M39 and 7.62 TKIV 85 rifles designed to allow safe use of 54R in case of emergency, as it may rapidly wear out the barrel. Even worse, there is a possibility that the resulting pressure from the steel-jacketed larger diameter bullet is too much and firing it may result in severe damage to both the rifle and the shooter. Using the 53R in a gun made for the 54R is however safe, although it may result in accuracy well below the weapon's potential.

Morning Douglas.
Were the cases neck or full length sized, and only once fired?
