I have a bolt action in 7.62x39 that I built on a 1894 small ring Mauser. It shoots well with both the Lee 155 grain cast boolit and jacketed bullets. Because it's a bolt action it's a little more versatile than my SKS. A load that I'd like to try with this rifle for plinking and close range varminting would be the RCBS 32-98 SWC. Powder coated and sized to .312" this bullet weighs 101 grains. I'd like to develop some loads in the 1000 to 1200 fps range. Looking online I've seen very limited information on loading cast pistol bullets in this caliber. I've seen small charges of either titegroup or bullseye recommended on some sites, but not much else. Fast powders that I have on have on hand are Unique, HS-6, and Bluedot, but I would not mind getting other powders if they worked better. Can some of the other reloaders here suggest any loads for this case and boolit combination?
