QL Load Data for 7.62x54R

[HAWKEYESATX]

Hey DrMike! Or whoever!

I have my old milsurp Mosin-Nagant, with a 28.75 inch barrel, and was wondering other powders would go well with the old, venerable 7.62x54R that it’s chambered in.
Max psi for it is 57k psi.

Thank you in advance! I greatly appreciate it!

Here are some suggestions with the Partizan 174 grain PriviPartizan FMJ BT (#B-143):

Cartridge          : 7.62 x 54 R Russ.Nagant
Bullet             : .311, 174, PrviPartizan FMJ BT B-143
Useable Case Capaci: 57.926 grain H2O = 3.761 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.040 inch = 77.22 mm
Barrel Length      : 28.8 inch = 730.3 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 55700 psi, or 384 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
