7.62 Nagant Re-Loading

Mr. Gunz

Well besides dies and the normal things you need for reloading what do I need, what kind of primers?, what kind of bullets?, anything unique to it? I know that the case does something with the cilynder to seal it to the barrel, does this require a special bullet.



Also I have noticed that all the comercial round are all flat point jacketed, what does that mean?

Hello?

I load for mine using 32 H&R magnum brass and 94 gr cast lead bullet. I have tried a lot of different kinds of brass and bullets to come up with a combination that works, hits to point of aim, and is accurate. You can buy Nagant brass, bullets, and dies from companies such as Graf's, but it is more expensive. I load mine with 32 acp Lee dies.

Is that just shorter brass

Pearyw

It is shorter than the Nagant case. I load the round so the bullet is to the end of the cylinder. My standard load is 3.5gr of 231 powder.
