I have been studying the Midway catalog for tools and accessories, and I had a thought. Would it be possible, safe, and effective, to disassemble surplus 7.62x54r or 8mm Mauser ammo, measure your rifle's leade, reseat the bullets to the optimal distance from the rifling (1/32" or so I have read) and then also decrease the powder charge accordingly, to avoid overpressure. I also saw Hornady's new Ammo concentricity tool to eliminate bullet runout.
Has anyone ever heard of or attempted this type of operation? It would be wonderful to keep shooting the surplus up, but at least customize it for one's own rifle and maximize it's performance.
Any thoughts?
