I am looking for reloading data for the 7.62x54r cartridge. I tried to search using
"7.62x54r reloading" and "7.62x54r data" without much success. I would like to find some printed info using both cast and jacketed bullets. The Lee manual has little info and Hodgdon data is not much better. Any suggestions??

The Lyman reloading manual#48 has some good data in it and they used a moisin nagant for the data.

My copy of "Modern Reloading - Second Edition" by Richard Lee has three pages of load data covering (16) different bullets...3 cast and 13 jacketed...and more than a dozen different powders.

for cast bullet loads up to about 2000 fps use 30-06 cast data.That's what Lyman did in the older manuals.I have used it successfully for years.

click on the picture to enlarge it and you can see the note.
