Title: 7.62 Nagant Loads?
Post by: wildman1 on October 23, 2011, 06:40:19 AM

 Does anyone here have load info for the 7.62 Nagant that they would be willing to share? WM

Yes, from what I have been told I can get a set of dies from Lee and 32-20 cases from Starline and will be able to use those. I have checked several places and have not been able to find any loads. I have checked and believe that I can use that in GAF. WM

Yes, you can use it for GAF. Do you have a Moisin Nagant to pair it up with?

I have no experience loading it, but I have read something about loading it, I think on surplusrifleforum. Seems that they are a bit challenging. If I remember correctly, the Lee dies are designed to use 32-20 cases, but if you find some proper cases, not so well-they were using a 30 carbine sizing die for those, I think. You might also search on Castboolits website, they discuss loading all sorts of old oddballs over there.

I would us .32 SW long data for a starting point.  And it is indeed suitable for GAF.  Love to see one matched with a Hex recievered Mosin.

2 S's.  As seen here, a russian uniform would not be hard!

hi !   The 32-20 shells are too short, but the right shells are made by Fiocci of Itally. Good luck  The Missing Link
