I recently picked up a Mosin Nagant and while I will probably shoot mostly mil surp stuff, I intend on growing a collection of re-loadable brass if it is cost effective to do so.
A couple questions:
Is the 7.62x54R a .308 or a .311 bullet? and does anyone have advice on a reasonable plinking bullet at a reasonable price?
What is the preferred powder for this round? The manuals give many choices, should I just go with the accuracy loads from Lyman or similar or does someone have a favorite powder?
Anything different about loading this cartridge? I assume I can just neck size, is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
