7.62X39,100gr lee rn, and bullseye

[Oklahoma Rebel]

I have the lee 100gr rn mold in 32cal, and the only powders I have is imr4198, reloader 7, and bullseye. I am looking for a small game load comparable to32acp-32hr to load in the 7.62X39 cases. I assume bullseye is what I need? I thought I could use the scoop I made for 38 spl.. which without looking is about 4.3grs I think. is that the best way to go? also I know I will be operating the sks as a singleshot. I used to have an adapter for my mosin nagant to shoot 32acp-32h&r mag, I loved it but it got lost somewhere. I am kindof looking to duplicate the fun I had using that. great for squirrels,coons and feral cats eating the chickens! thanks-Travis

2.7 gr BE is just what you want.

ok, thanks a lot. now that I think about it I think my scoop was 3-3.2 grs. i'll double check before I do anything!

I tried larrys load in a bolt action 308 savage. It was 2.7 to 3.2 of bullseye. All I can say is try it you will like it . And every body els that try's it also likes that load.its like shooting a match 22lr stardard volocity ammo . It's not hard to go through 200 rounds with every body shooting them so rember to save some for yourself they go fast. I like this load so much I haven't tried edd Harris load of 16 gr of 2400 in the 3o8 with the lee 160 tl gass checked bullet .

Forgot to mention I got the lee 100 gr 311 diameter rn and the lee 90 gr 314 swc they both shoot very good sized to 311 in my 308.I have tried lees 160 tl design also a very good shooter at 5 to 7 gr

Rebel you can use a scale and a piece of brass to make a custom dipper that will give you exactly the charge you want.

Simply make a handle of some sort, from a piece of tape and a piece of cardboard, a piece of wire, sky's the limit.

For adjusting charge I like to take my case deburring tool, sharpen the inside edge of the brass. Then simple place it on a piece of foam or paper and cut out the circle. Tamp it down, scoop a scoop of powder, weigh it. Adding layers as needed until you get consistent measure exactly the size you want.

that's a good idea, easier than trimming it several times, only to cut it too short!

When I trim too short, I just go back and trim them longer. . . . .
