Here is my deal.....
I have bought spam cans of 7.62x54r corrosive. So I take it apart and reload my non corrosive brass cases lil lighter, get good ammo. I would like to use the same method reclaim the powder and bullets and run them through my enfield.
Both are near the same though the 54r seems a larger case.
The info I do have is the amount of powder in the surplus is 44gr of flake type powder I load 40gr and get nice groups. The bullet is 147gr steel core fmj bt .311 dia.
Now with the 40gr I still get a good kick in my 91/30 and my 303 is a short barell j/c.
Is this just being to cheap for my own good? I would really like to make this happen without shooting my eye out.
And if you think about it three lb of powder and 440 bullets for $125 in these times its as good as it gets for plinking.
