History of the 7.62 Russian Nagant  Revolver Cartridge:
The 7.62x38Rmm (R for Rimmed) Russian Nagant  Revolver Cartridge as introduced around 1895 for the Nagant and  Pieper 7 shot revolvers which were used in the Russian Military.
This is a very unusual cartridge as the projectile is inside the case.
The reason for this is the revolver moves the cartridge forward as it is about to be fired, and the collier in the case neck stops gasses from being lost in the gap between the cylinder and the barrel as in most revolvers.
