7.62x39 and 7.62x69..difference?

[Icetrey]

What is the difference in 7.62x39 ammunition and 7.62x69?

[salukipv1]

one's longer? ie 39mm vs. 69mm?

[Wingbone]

I would guess probably about the same difference as that between a 30-30 and a 30-06.

Or .308 and -06 .

7.62 x 69....??...

I have never heard of that round, although I'm not saying it doesn't exist.. There are lots of fairly obscure metric cartridges.... That would be one LONG case..The 30-06 is 63 MM long... I'm thinking a 7.62 x 69 would be similar to something like a .300 H&H mag...

I've never heard of a 7.62X69.

[8mm/06]

I'm thinking it's a typo, ... a simple mistake.
