    Lyman ideal 311410 pb for mosin

    I have the lee 185 grain mold for the mosin but I'm casting the 311410 bullet for a friend for his 7.62x39 and I was wondering if it works for mosin as well. I looked in my cast Lyman manual but it wasn't listed so I thought I would ask here. Thanks for your help and support. Nelson.

    My 311410 drops at .310 sometimes a little more. Most Mosins run around .312 .313. Just give it a try. Don't run it much more than about 1400 fps.

    Exactly what I was going to say; if it falls from the mold fat or you can fatten it up with PC than give it a try at just above mouse fart loads and please keep us posted

    Slug the bore. I have bunch Mosin Nagants with .311 or tighter bores (mostly Finns).

    Don't go above 1200 FPS, you'll probably be alright. Just a guess, though, 'til you slug the bore. You may end up with a badly leaded barrel.
    .3115 would not work in my Mosins.
