I am new to loading metalics and especially casting. Don't have all I need to start but was wondering if the above mold would make a nice load for the Nagant? I am also open to suggestions.

Have you slugged your bore? - if the bore is .312 or smaller than yes.

That bullet was very accurate out of my Nagant 91/30, which has a bore of .3135" . I applied the gas check with a .314" sizer die. I sold the mold during the craziness, but I kinda miss it. 16 grains of 2400 worked great. Apparently they're available again–I may re-buy.
