In my efforts improve my skill with a rifle, I have been firing a scoped k31 at ranges of up to 600 yds. I plan to use my m91/30 for some open sight practice soon also.
I own a lee loader, and a bullet puller, as well as a rcbs scale (no press or dies yet). But Ive come up with the idea of pulling this surplus ammo down to its components (mainly the 7.62x54r, the swiss stuff is great) and reloading it using resized casings, re measured surplus powder (and perhaps a different charge), and the same bullets with whatever seating depth seems to enhance accuracy. I have no illusion of getting match ammo from this, but think that I may get improved performance with just the investment of my time.
If anyone has any experience with this, or any tips to share, please let me know. Thanks.
