There are actually quite a few powder choices for shooting cast bullets in the 7.62x54R. As mentioned above, Ed Harris’ “The Load” using Red Dot works and is worth trying. This link (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=2751) will take you to a pretty good discussion of “The...

A quick question for you: I have never used Berrys, so would you use cast bullet data or jacketed bullet data? Dan

Good morning, kstuart. I've never used Berrys, so I don't feel qualified to post an opinion. If you want to double check, you can go to: http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp You can look up loads from the manufacturer of Hodgdon, IMR and Winchester powders there, by caliber and bullet. Dan

I've had great results in my AKs and SKS' with the .310 Hornady 3140 123 gr Soft Point over IMR 4198. Dan

BsChoy. Regarding Roadkill's Red Dot load, it may be a reference to "The Load" by C.E. (Ed) Harris from 1994. You can read what I believe is the original article here, about a quarter down the page. http://www.jouster.com/cgi-bin/reload/reload.pl?noframes;read=31006 I've tried "The Load" in...
