7.62x54r.net is usually the site to go for Mosin ammo comparisions.

I see, however, that Districorp says the stuff on chargers in the triangle box is 148gr. and there's no info on the site about that loading. You can look up info for the regular Hungarian 174gr. yellowtip though. Sorry I don't have more info,but I'm sure seconds after I'm done writing this someone will chime in with some ballistics for the 7.62x54r on strippers.

the hungarian that i have shot over the chrono is as follows:
the yellow tip stuff, 21 over 51 headstamp ==>2525fps
the stuff on stripper clips, 21 over 52 headstamp ==>2750fps
by comparison, the S&B 180 grain softpoint does 2550fps
all of this is out of a polish M44 with the 20" barrel, so velocities should be higher out of a long rifle.
