"7.62 mm" could mean any one of a whole bunch of things. Maybe you're looking for one of these things:

Pistol cartridges
Revolver cartridges
  • 7.62x38mmR used only in the Nagant M1895 revolver
  • .32 Long Colt, originally revolver cartridge today little used in revolvers, but used in large number of sport pistols in .32 LC WC form (WC stands for Wad Cutter, it means cylindrical bullet)(correction suggested ".32 LC" be changed to ".32 S & W Long" relative to use in sporting pistols.
  • .32 H&R Magnum only revolver cartridge in this caliber which is in wider use today, mostly in smallframe revolvers.
Rifle cartridges
  • Soviet 7.62x39mm, also known as the 7.62 mm Soviet, M43, or occasionally .30 Short Combloc, designed for the RPD and the SKS and used in the AK-47 and AKM assault rifles and RPK light machine guns.
  • 7.62x51mm NATO, and its civilian variant .308 Winchester, sometimes incorrectly described as .308 NATO by persons mixing English measurements used by some civilians with metric measurements used by the NATO organization.
  • 7.62x54mmR another Russian cartridge that was first used in the Mosin-Nagant rifle since 1891. The modern versions of the cartridges to this day are in wide use in numerous world armies as sniper rifles (particularly the SVD family) and machine guns (numerous types, many developed from AK family such as the PKM).
  • .30-06 Springfield US Army cartridge for both World Wars and Korea, known as the 7.62x63mm in metric measurement.
