    Lyman 3rd edition Casthas data for SR4756 in rifles. Specifically, 30-06, but there are others.

    Generally, it stays with lighter boolits for cartridge. No heavyweights.

    Sort of late to the party here, but in my Mosin applications I prefer the C312-185-1R.
    I shoot them in M39s and a 1926 Tula ex-Dragoon 91/30.

    I find the Mosins seem to prefer a heavier boolit.

    Haven't been around in awhile.

    I think you are on the low side. I expect $50-60/K at retail. I think the days of 1K bricks in the $30 range are nothing but a (soon to be fond) memory.
