The Russians were making some nicely engineered sporters during the 30s and 40s.

In 1931, Kochetov, DM based on the Mosin rifle was developed by NC hunting rifle, 8, 2 -gauge 8.2-mm. The carbine was manufactured at the Tula Arms Plant before 1941, both for the domestic market and for export to order the Mongolian People's Republic. Ammo for the rifle Kochetov consisted of a brass sleeve length 66 mm, which had a bottle-shaped, groove and partially protruding rim. Cartridge primer were filled with the central battlefield, a charge of black gunpowder and a lead bullet weighing 14.5 grams with an initial flight speed of 400 m / sec. During the war there were hunting rifles for the armed militias.
After the war ended in 1946 at the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant was arranged production hunting rifle KO-8, 2 "Moose", and in 1962 - KO-8, a modernized round 2M 8,2 × 66m, which were fitted with a charge of powder and soft point pistol bullet weighing 9.6 grams (tompakovaya shell and core of suryamistogo lead SSA).
Issue rifle lasted until 1965, and rounds up to 1978. Bullet cartridges in the pre-war issue were fixed in a tight pocket trip and a modernized chuck segment crimp sleeves or three-point edge kerneniem.
Attempts were made to learn the serial production of the cartridge with a bullet shell in the 30s and in 70s (bullet weight 9.6 g), but the mass production of ammunition with bullet shell had not been implemented. Most of the ammunition produced with sleeves, without bottom marks, with the exception of post-war sample rounds 8,2 × 66m with a bottom stamp in the form of a five-pointed star.
