7.62 Nagant Fiocchi brass

Has anyone tried the 7.62 Nagant Fiocchi brass from Graf????
I'm using 32-20 now, but it's to short to make the gas seal.
Always wanted to try the Starline brass, but never got the chance.

I bought the Fiocchi loaded ammo years ago and tried to load that. Also bought some from Graf.
I pulled bullets from several loaded rounds, including Russian. Sizes varied from just under 30 caliber to .314".
Tried jacketed and cast with miserable results. I even shortened a couple cases so the bullet did not have to open the end crimp. Velocity dropped about 150fps, acurracy still terrible.
I think this gun has the worst trigger in history.

I also wondered about the Fiocchi brass. I have used 32-20 and the old Grafs 7.62 Nagant brass. The Grafs was not long enough to form a gas seal, so I also was hoping to get some more feedback on the Fiocchi. I have quite a bit of the Russian target ammo and it is very accurate in my Nagant. I have several loads in the various types of brass that are very accurate, but I am getting a lot of spitting and the velocity is lower than I expected with the short brass.

What loads and bullets are you using?????
I've been using the .314di 120gr M1 Carbine group buy bullet.
Shoots OK, but I think it could be better.

I have been using some Magnus 100 gr SWC size .312 and Hornady 90 gr .314 HBWC's I have used these with both Bullseye, 231 and Unique. Velocities run around 720 fps and it spits. Shoots good, but not as good as the Russian target ammo. At 50 ft with a good rest, the Russian target ammo can put 7rds into a clover leaf that can be covered with a quarter.
