Nagant revolver loads
« on: March 31, 2006, 05:14:44 PM »
I am thinking about buyiing a Nagant revolver, model 1895 I believe.  I have found a place to buy the brass but need bullet and powder info.  This is the Russian revolver that the cylinder moves forward to close the gap when the trigger is pulled.

I use 32-20 brass sized with the Lee die available from Midway. I cast the Lee 311-093-1R bullet and keep the overall case length at 1.5" I use 3 grains of Unique. With this setup I did not need to adjust the sights on my 2 revolvers. I bought some Trail Boss powder but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
