Does anyone reload the Nagant revolver cartridge? How difficult is it? I have a Nagant 38R and would like to shoot it every now and then but ammo is darn expensive and available pretty much only online. The dies for it has the following caveats . . . Maybe I'm better off shooting factory out of it???
Special Note:
The Lee Nagant die set has the sizer die marked 7.62 Nagant and the other two dies are marked 32-20
This die set does not come with load data or any other cartridge information
For best results you need to slug your Nagant barrel to determine the bullet diameter needed. .311 - .314 diameter bullets work best.
Starline 32-20 brass is likely to work without any alteration. Other brand 32-20 brass will require rim thinning or modification of the recoil plate.
Load data (one load) is located in the "Manual of Cartridge Conversions." Product number 132259
This die set is intended to make shootable ammunition for these revolvers.
This die set will not make ammunition that is a duplicate of original ammunition.
