    I figured I'd add my dos centavos.

    7.62x54R

    Mosin 91/30, NOE 316-203-RN (316299),air cooled CWW. Sized .316, dip lubed in BLL #2. OAL at 2.969", for the big ol' throat in this pig.

    1.3cc Lee scoop, Universal powder. Lee claims that 1.3cc scoop is just under 12 grains with either Unique or Universal. I suspect it's a bit less than that, but I didn't weigh. Rem 9 1/2 LRP.

    I tested a 10-shot string at 50 yds, the last 5 shots in 1.75", battle sights set at 450 yds.

    1392 fps, SD 24.7 fps, ES 69 fps. 69 degrees, roughly 900ft altitude.

    Throwing 10.5 gr Unique.....I must try that in my 45-70 1886. I'm using 11gr and a 350 gr boolit now, but wouldn't need to set up my powder measure. Quick and easy...

    Jim 44-40- I had to convert a shotgun to get it. I'm loving it and it will be with me on opening day.

    The priming flask I kept (Brass valve) throws 9.5 grs of Unique. That's fine with me. I tested an old Weaver K6 scope on the Mauser 30-30 with that charge under purple pc LeeC312155 sized to .309"that a member here provided. 7 rounds and then I moved the scope for zero. 1" dot @ 40yds.

    I'm sorry somehow I have missed this post , yes I have and it seems between 8-9 works wonderful and is a blast to shoot but quite a bit of drop at a 100 yards .

    Some of those newfangled powder coated boolits. There is one sitting by the front sandbag in the pic of the gun.
    I guess I'm going to have to start writing things down. I have forgotten who sent me those.
