The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Wolf Military Classic 148-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket 7.62x54R load made for volume practice. The bullet is a plain jacketed one with no lead exposed at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,785 fps with 2,548 ft-lbs.
Recoil in the same rifle is a shade lighter than the caliber's soft-point load, though nothing in 7.62x54R is mild. Wolf sells the Military Classic line for shooting a lot, so it suits an afternoon of plinking with a surplus bolt-action.
If you're cross-shopping, Prvi Partizan's 150-grain SP-BT is the soft point in the caliber, 55 fps faster at the muzzle with 2,686 ft-lbs behind an exposed lead nose. It kicks about 5 percent harder in the same rifle.
- The softer-recoiling of the caliber's two loads
- Within 138 ft-lbs of Prvi Partizan's 150-grain SP-BT at the muzzle, on two grains less bullet
- Wolf builds the line for volume practice, and the bullet is as plain as that job needs
- A steel case, which cannot be reloaded and is magnetic, so some indoor ranges and clubs refuse it
- A closed jacket, with nothing in the bullet meant for game
