7.62x54R 7N1 Sniper Ammo – 152gr Precision Ball
The 7N1 sniper cartridge is a purpose-built precision round originally developed for designated marksman rifles such as the Dragunov SVD. Unlike standard surplus ball ammunition, 7N1 was engineered to deliver enhanced accuracy, consistent trajectory, and improved terminal performance at extended distances.
Loaded with a 152-grain projectile, the 7N1 features a specialized internal construction designed to optimize stability and penetration. The bullet typically incorporates a mild steel core with an air cavity in the nose, aiding in balance and terminal behavior—making it a standout option for precision shooting compared to standard 7.62x54R light ball.
This ammunition was historically issued to Soviet and Eastern Bloc sniper units and remains highly sought after for its tight groupings and superior ballistic consistency. Whether you’re running a PSL, SVD-pattern rifle, or a precision Mosin-Nagant build, 7N1 offers a noticeable step up in performance over typical surplus loads.
