1889: 7.65x54 Mauser, [email protected],460fps

1954: 7.62x51 NATO, [email protected],600fps

65 years of cartridge development between them. Not all of the world's armies had fully converted to smokeless powder in 1889; the 7.65 is a dinosaur. But it can still hold its own. DWM's engineers done good.
