Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I’ve been lurking for awhile, trying to gain an education in boolit casting. I’m also new to reloading. All I’ve loaded so far is 50 rounds of .38 special for practice with my .357 snubnose revolver. I haven’t had a chance to try them yet.
I have a Russian M44 that I’d like to reload for. I’ve read posts indicating that the Russian rifles have bores ranging around .309 to .315 and larger. I’ve slugged mine several times and nearly as I can tell with my cheap General dial calipers, the grooves measure out at .309 and the lands are slightly less than .300. Does this sound right?
I would like to buy a 150 or 185 grain Lee mould for it. I also have a couple of SKS’s I’ll eventually be loading for. Would a C312-155-2R, and a .309 resizing die cover both rifles adequately? Thanks.
