.308dia bullets in 7.62x54r

[_N4Z_]

I've got some 168gr Sierra HPBT's in .308 diameter I am going to test in my Finn M39.

To date all I've ever used is .311's, but this one has a right tight bore dia. (.298"), so I am going to see what it can do with the smaller rounds.

I am looking for load info from those with first hand knowledge only.

Thank you.

If you do any research, you'll see that most M39's were produced with a .308 bore.
They should work well with the proper bullets.

You can use the loads that www.hodgdon.com offers, as they are .308 on the site.

Ah, I see, a double post.

Mods please close. Sorry, it looks like I double downed.
