Svt40 bullets

[sunray]

.308" bullets are the wrong diameter. 7.63 x 54R uses a .311" bullet. Speer makes .311" SP's in 150 and 180 grains.
110 grain bullets were made for the .30 Carbine too. Wrong bullet, again.
Dents on the necks are likely caused by the case hitting the receiver on the way out. Like Smellie says, adjusting the gas and making sure the extractor and ejector are clean can fix that. However, like you say, it's not really a big deal.

Which powder along with how much and what was the OAL you used? Trying to compare to my start as I have loaded with the same bullet. From the few shots I used my reloads with the Lapua brass was still fine for reloading.

IIRC 43.5 gr of Varget, Win LR primer, OAL I believe was the same as Czech milsurp (don't remember exactly).
