By just pulling the FMJ bullet and pressing in a suitable hunting bullet?
Why? Well, because once my C&R clears, Il'l be buying a K31. I doubt I could load for what the surplus stuff costs, and by all reports, its great stuff as-is. Assuming that bullet weights were the same, the powder charge in the GP-11 should be suitable, right? Ideally, I could end up with a hunting load that shoots at or very near the POI of the practice ammo, without paying the high price of boxer-primed 7.5x55 brass, or dealing with trying to reload Berdan primers.
If this is a workable idea, what bullets should I be looking at?
