Mosin Nagant load?

[slider]

Does anyone here have a load for a  mosin 7.62x54r, with  IMR4831 or  H4350? I will be using Norma brass,CCI   large rifle primers, and 180 grain     .311 dia bullets. Usage will most likely be range work,with a little close range hog hunting.             Thanks for your time!!!

        Might try H3550 - 51 grains - 2700fps
                     H4831 - 51 grains - 2500fps
I use a 60 grain sabot with 40 grains of H380 with a fps of 3900 for groundhogs and varmits. Fast, good, very little recoil, and only need one gun for sifferent sports   :grin:

I am reloading my 7.62x54R for an MN1891/30 (mostly Winchester brass), Winchester Large Rifle primer.  

My MN 1891/30 with the rear sight all the way down and a roll pin raising the front sight shoots dead center with a 6PM hold at 100 yards on an NRA target using handloaded 0.310 dia bullet, 180 grain Remington Corelokt bullets and 41.8 grains H4895.

For cast lead bullets with a 175 grain, gas-checked, cast lead bullet BN=20 hardness, 33.6 grains H-4895, (no change in front sight adjustment from above) adjusting rear sight to a 400 meter/yard setting, X-Ring with 6PM hold on an NRA target at 100 yards.   Bullet sized to 0.311.

For cast lead bullets with a 155 grain gas-checked bullet, between 15.3 and 15.6 grains of Alliant 2400 powder, the rear sight adjusted to the 500 meter mark they were dead on with a 6 pm hold at 100 yards.   Bullet sized to 0.311 inch diameter.  This is a much reduced powder load having very little recoil.

I tried working up some loads for 115 grain cast bullets, but had a hard time with accuracy on them.  I did get some on paper loads that weren't too bad at 50 yards using 5 to 7 grains of Hodgdon TiteGroup powder.

I do not load for 7.62x53 Russian for 2 simple reasons

1: Surplus is too cheap, can't reload that cheap!

2: I have not been able to better a hunting load
    than those offered by S&B
