Hi all,
Would a charge of 18 grains of H4895 or similar powder be safe at all in a 7.62x54R, with a .314'' 115 grain FN cast bullet? The rifle is a Mosin 91/30. Slugged barrel is .313". Is there anyway to calculate the velocity and pressure?
Also I have read many posts that say 7.62X54R, .308 win, .30-40 krag, and .303 british load data for the same bullet type and weight can be used. Anybody know if that's so?
And finally are there any manuals that list cast load data for 7.62x54R in the 115 grain range? The lyman cast handbook 4th edition only list for 180 - 200 range. And modern reloading second edition has loads for 110 and 125 bullets but they are jacketed.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
