 The '''5.6×39mm''', also known in the United States as the '''.220 Russian''', is a rifle cartridge developed in the late 1950s primarily for deer hunting in the [[USSR]] as well as for [[100 meter running deer]] competitions. It is a [[7.62×39mm]] cartridge which is necked down to hold a 5.6mm bullet (.223 caliber). 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".

 This round was also used in the [[TKB-022PM|TKB-022PM5]] bullpup assault rifle, and in development of the standard-issue [[5.45×39mm]] round. Likewise, its derivatives, including (but not limited to) the [[6.5 Grendel]] and more recently, cartridges like the [[6mm ARC]] have become highly popular in platforms like the [[AR-15]] for superior overall performance to their traditional [[5.56x45mm NATO]] chambering.
 In the [[Russian Federation]], several hunting rifles were designed for this cartridge; the [[IZh-94|IZh-94 "Sever"]], "[[Saiga semi-automatic rifle|Saiga-5.6]]" ("''Сайга-5.6''"), and "Saiga-5.6S" ("''Сайга-5.6С''").
