the old Mosin Nagant ... back in the 60's ... 70's Lyman included loading data for the thing! I've been pulling the steel bullets and replacing them with the Speer 125 gr. .311" soft points. Crimping with the 30-30 Lee collett die. Guess I'm gonna have to buy a set of loading dies for it since I have some Winchester brass with standard Boxer primers.
