    Looking for 7.62x54R brass and dies....

    As the title says, looking for 7.62x54R (Mosin) dies and brass. A good friend from church is looking to 'get in the game' and this is his primary hunting rifle, so trying to help him out. I have lots of trade bait....brass in many calibers, other dies, bullets, etc... Primers and powder up for trade as well if you're local to Upstate, SC. PM if you've got some stuff laying around....let's make a deal!

    I may have a spare set of dies. I’ll check in the AM. I’d want $35 shipped anywhere CONUS. PM me if you are interested

    Specifics on the dies, Lee, RCBS? Crimp die included?

    Thanks! Trails...

    A word of caution on 7.62 x 54r brass. If you get once or more fired brass it may not resize enough to chamber in your rifle. I bought some once fired brass that was exactly as advertised but even after full length sizing wouldn't chamber in a M39 Finn. On firing the case web area had expanded to fit the generous chamber and couldn't be sized back down. Similar to "Glock bulge" in days gone by.
    Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.

    If you slice one in half, lengthwise you will notice they look a lot like the old balloon head cartridges of days gone by. Not a lot of support in the webbing.
