I just read in a gun mag that Europe recently changed their CIP pressure specs on the 7.62x38R ammo to way lower. SO while Fiocchi's website still lists the velocity at 1050fps (or so, out of their test barrel), they are actually now loading it to about 750 fps.
Minus another 80-120fps for the shorter Nagant barrel and you get around the 660 fps chronographed in the article.
Anyone know the Lot number of the ammo which marks the split between 'old-n-hot' and 'new-and-weak'????
