I have some RL-15 powder and am reloading 7.62x54r. The problem is that there's very little load data for this powder in this cartridge, and I only found 2 recipes for 150gr bullets.
I plan to load some 174gr bullets, and since the charge weights between 7.62x51 and the 54r are so close for a given poweder, its it ok to use load data for the 7.62x51 in my 54r to get a starting point?
The 54r is a little more stout than the 308, so it should be a little under loaded. I am new to reloading, but I dont see why this should be a problem.
