7.62X54R Reload?
Just reloaded my first set of 7.62x54R. Finally found a box of 150gr. .311dia. Barnes TSX. Used Brass from Winchester Metric & Some Serbian stuff all boxer primed. This is the load data
Bullet: 150Grain Barnes Triple Shock 303cal. .311dia
Powder: BL-C(2) 52.0Grains
Primer: CCI 300 Large Rifle primers
Should yield about 2880FPS as starter load.
I had to search high and low for the bullets, the .311 is new in TSX. Used two sets of dies. RCBS but then bought the lee set because it had the crimper, but the lee sports a .308 expander. Thats too small for my M-44. so I need the .311 expander.
My rifle was slugged out and is a .311dia. and can hold 1in groups at 150yrds. with factory ammo.
So I am eager to see what this ammo will do.
If any one has loaded TSX in their Mosin let me know how it worked out.
"Guns don't kill people. People in helicopters with guns kill people!"
Haven't used that bullet, but I will have to check it out. My M44 has been shooting great with .308 dia bullets in factory ammo and handloads. FYI below is my posted answer to someone that asked about factory rounds for is cartridge. Note the reference to the Lee Factory Crimp die:
Norma for preloaded ammo if you can find it. For Handloading, the Winchester brass and the Norma are both Boxer primed. I use a Lee Factory Crimp die on any of the brass cases that are purchased as loaded factory rounds or my own handloads. This will improve the accuracy by 50%.
