7.62x53r lapua brass

[Surplus1]

Just yesterday i picked up an old box of lapua brass in 7.62x53r. There are 80ish cases in the box with about a dozen that have been at least once fired and the others appearing new/unused. Its my understanding that these can be used for mosin nagants in 7.62x54r. Does anyone have any experience using these cases in mosins?

Yes. Excellent Mosin brass.

Yes, they work very well for me. 7.62x53.6R is actually correct.

The Finns designated this as they use .30 cal barrels on Mosin-Nagants. Many use this brass for their 7.62X54R rifles.
