7.62x38r Maximum Pressure?
Haven t been able to locate any definitive answers as to what the actual maximum pressure of the 7.62x38r cartridge is for the 1895 Nagant Revolver and where this data is located.....Most likely somewhat due to it being an obsolete cartridge I would imagine despite the obscure popularity of the revolver?
Thanks

You might check all the previous editions of "Cartridges of the World". They have an abundant amount of history in there. It might possibly be under the section of "Obsolete Military Cartridges"
At any rate they are very informative, and entertaining.

11th edition CoTW has a 115 gr cast bullet over 3 gr Bullseye for 800 fps/165 fpe. No CUP or FLBS of pressure are listed. The text compares the power to the .32 S&W long, so if pressure for that may be located it might be similar. 0 -

Thanks Riomouse911, yeah the .32 S&W long is pretty well established, however was hoping to at least find legitimate 7.62x38r pressure stats which are obscure to say the least and which I haven't found either but no matter as its a tough piece of machinery anyway.
And is apparent as to why there are so many that use .32 ACP, .32 S&W long and .32 H&R mag ammunition in it with no problems at all.
The 1895 Nagant Revolver really did compliment the T-34 Tank crews in more ways than one being built like a tank itself.

Juggernaut,
I have the MAP listed at 11,100 PSI.
Best.
This information was found in one of my ammunition resources. The specific volume wasn't generically available.

Hi nononsense,
Did you find the info in one of the books or off a website so that I know for reference; as there just apparently isn't a whole lot of info on the 7.62x38r cartridge in terms of pressure?
The revolver itself must be able to withstand alot of pressure then being so many using the .32 caliber cartridge which is well beyond 11,100 psi without any reported problems in the 1895 Nagant Revolver without the new .32ACP cylinder.

Jug, do some Google searching, there's some 1895 Nagant specific forums. The guys there have already done the guinea pig work of developing loads, and loading for the conversions.
I think Fiocchi and Privi are the only two that offer commercial loads.0 -

Trap, already done that and have a good collection of information, as stated in the website there just isnt alot of info thanks.
Yeah, it looks like Fiocchi and Privi Partizan were about the only commercial loads (being weak and under powered for the revolver) that I found as well and is another reason as to why alot of people are using .32 caliber instead with no reported problems.
As stated the 1895 Nagant Revolver is a well built tank of a revolver with an under powered weak load considering the overall strength of the revolvers build.
