The 9×53mmR rifle cartridge was designed for hunting in the USSR.[6] It is a 7.62×54mmR necked up to accommodate a larger bullet.[7]

History

It was offered for export to other countries.[8]

Since 1971 two bullet types are available:[9][10]

  • Type A - SP for hunting 250–500 kg animals
  • Type B - FMJ for hunting 70–250 kg animals

Soviet 9×53mmR cartridges were loaded with smokeless powder VT (винтовочный пироксилиновый порох ВТ), as well as Soviet 5.6×39mm and 7.62×54mmR hunting cartridges.[11]

Firearms

In the USSR, several rifles were designed for this cartridge: bolt-action carbine "Los", self-loading carbine "Medved'", combination guns TOZ-55 "Zubr", MTs-7-09, MTs 30, MTs-109-09, MTs-110-09,[12] MTs-111-09 and TOZ-84-12/9,27.

In the Russian Federation, several rifles were designed for this cartridge: "IZh-94 "Express";[13] "Berkut-3", "Saiga-9 rifle" (it was produced since 2001 until 2005) and VPO-103.[2]

Notes

9×53mmR

This 9×53mmR Russian cartridge should not be confused with 9.3×53mmR Finnish, a hunting cartridge from Finland based on the same Russian 7.62x54R case. This was developed in Finland to be compliant with hunting regulations limiting use of the 7.62x54R cartridges for larger framed game species.[14] It also has similar dimensions, but a larger 9.3mm (.366 caliber) diameter bullet, 71.45 mm overall cartridge length[15] with, more importantly, a significantly higher speed and maximum pressure - 340 MPa - resulting in higher terminal energy ratings at reasonable hunting ranges. At one time SAKO factory ammunition was available, but currently Boxer primed cartridges are most easily formed from modern Boxer-primed brass cases by expanding the neck of standard brass 7.62x54R to the appropriate diameter.[16]
