Hey guys,
I recently acquired 300 green tip tracers to load in 54r cases to feed my Mosins. I weighed a few of them and they seem to be 150gr, even though I thought they were designated as 148gr. I guess it doesn't matter that much.
I am looking for suggestions for good loads for these rounds. I would like to see them light off, but most of them will be used for punching paper during sunny days so it's not critical. In this crazy world of component shortages, right now I am limited to the following powders on hand: IMR4064, H335, H380.
I loaded 5 rounds yesterday with 46gr of H380 with an OAL of 2.90. They went down range fine, lighter recoil, didn't light off (I don't think) BUT I think the primers backed out ever so slightly. I think this is an indication of low pressure?
2 questions:
What is a good load to make these light off?
What is a good plinking load with these projectiles?
Thanks in advance.
Tim
