Here's a synopsis of the rd. 

.220 Russian

The .220 Russian (5.6×39mm) cartridge was developed in the late 1950s for deer hunting in Russia. It is a 7.62×39mm cartridge necked down to hold a 5.6 mm bullet. It was later adopted by Finland, and by around 1965 was being produced by SAKO and Lapua. When it was introduced to the United States, Sako, and later Lapua, brass was stamped ".220 Russian".

I will admit I was not familiar with it either until smokin45 put up this little challenge, which I must admit that I'm a sucker for these sort of things.  I did have to do a web search after the obvious choices were incorrect.  I do have a collection of odd and uncommon cartridges stashed away that I hope to run across someday when I'm looking for something else.  When I do, I will post a similar guessing game.
