7.62×54mmR

Because of performance similar to the iconic American .30-06 cartridge, a similarly rich military and historic heritage, and amazing longevity, the 7.62×54mmR is nicknamed ``the Russian .30-06'' by some . It is also one of the few (along with the .22 Hornet, .30-30 Winchester, and .303 British) bottlenecked, rimmed centerfire rifle cartridges still in common use today. Most of the bottleneck rimmed cartridges of the late 1880s and 1890s fell into disuse by the end of the First World War.

Question: is 7.62 x54 the same as 30 06
Answer: no
