Reloading for a Mosin

[lorne19]

I slugged my two Mosins today (91/30-M38) and they both slug around .3125-.313. So what dia bullets should I use and what type of bullets are there out there? Also is there anything available in FMJ?

Good info on that page, not sure if you've seen it but it should answer your questions.

Same bullets used for .303 British. Hornady makes a .312" 150 grain SP and a 174 grain RNSP. Sierra uses .311". Speers are .311" too. Steve at .303british.com seasonally makes 200 grain .313" full jacketed bullets too.
Nobody seems to be making FMJ's in that calibre.

Hornady has the Traditional FMJ 174gr in .312 also, thats next on my list if I can find some.

Anybody ever try those .311 CMJ frontier bullets that Marstar sells?

so the bullets at mystic precision say "PRVI 303 150gr FMJBT $275/1000" would that mean .303" or would they be .311" ?

So the way I understand it is that if my rifle slug anywhere between .312 -.313 I can use .311 or .312 bullets without problem correct?

Yep, last PRVI batch I bought was .3105"

Work good, not as good as the Hot-Cor SP .311" bullets I was running.

Next on my list is 174gr Hornady .312" FMJBT's.
