I think the point was that the term "Nagant" rifle is not accurate, nor specific enough to identify the Mosin-Nagant rifle. It did demonstrate some nice rifles made by the Nagant Bros. though.
In answer to the OP, no sweat on the term, we all started out with no knowledge of these rifles. A quick google search will bring you results on 7.62 x 54R hunting cartridges. It may be best to buy small quantities of several brands, if possible, to determine which your particular rifle likes best.
It is best not to consider hunting with military rounds, even if it is not illegal in your area as it is in mine. Most of the surplus rounds will blow through game without much initial stopping power. You may kill the animal, but by making it bleed out over a long period of time, and you may never recover the carcass.
