I found some Norma 130gr .311's at a gunshow...........but I think I'm feeding them to my SKS for deer? They would be moving from a 91/30 though...........Harold
Anyone have any luck shooting the standard .308 round out of their MN. So far finding .311 and .312 size projectiles is a little on the tough side. couple hundred of each in 150-and spitzer would be a nice find.
I use 174GR .3105 FMJBT
I've shot Wincheset bulk 180's out of my M44 with a tight bore (.311) and they shot fine. I've also shot them through 2 groove Lee Enfields and they have shot as good as .311 bullets for me.
I'm thinking any fairly long .308 bullet with a flat base is a fair candidate to try in a .311 bore if you can't find any .311 bullets.
Right now though, with MFS 203 grain SP ammo being available $13 per 20, I'm not reloading for my Mosins. Just not worth it.
What powder's work best for you?
What are the bullet weights for the Mosin Nagant sniper rifle, and at what FPS?
