7.62x54r cast bullet data

I've found 10-14gr of Unique to work well with 200gr gas-checked.

Heh, I lost my data book like twenty years ago. dang it! So I feel for you.
I only used IMR4895 and Red-Dot and really only use Red-Dot these days.. right around 13 grains for a 190 grain GC'd (generally) Lyman spitzer for 30-06.

I'll look up my specifics but I had pretty good results with trail boss. There was a significant POI change, but you can compensate by raising the rear sight up. I never found any that gave fantastic accuracy. Only fair. But they worked great for 25 yard plinking.

I like 16-18 grains of SR 4759 in PRVI brass with a gas checked lyman 314299 sized to 312.

You might be looking for "THE LOAD' and didn't know it!

I left my Lee book with lots of extra pages of notes inside at a fellow reloader's house a while ago and it took a few weeks for him to get hold of me to tell me it was there. I think that he was copying all my data before he told me he had it. I feel your pain. I have only tried Laser Cast lead bullet made for the 30-30 without a GC so far in my Mosin and the results were poor due to poor fit I assume. If the bullet molds ever reappear again in any amount I may try a .313-.314 sized bullet and see what that does. BTW how did your bullets shoot in yours? My Lyman # 42 says to use same cast bullets/weights and loads that are used for the 30-36 in their book.

I'm just trying to find a powder that I can use that is in stock. I want Varget, but we all know that situation

Wow Thanks RC. I wonder what ever happened to Ed C.E. Harris? His writings and inventions are the coolest... Ed's Red? "The Load," and others?

In the 90's Ed's Red was my go to solvent, especially since I made up about a gallon of it!
