    7.62x54r StaBall and 168gr tmk

    I didn't take that personally. Sorry playing catch up, my kid gave me some disease from school. I've been in slow noting for a week now. I think the only thing I would have done differently was also build a hex receiver along with the rounded one I have, just to see how much more the hex could...

    Yes StaBall match, should go to the range soon now the chrono showed up. I'm going to do some 308 also. Someday, if I ever get the money I would love to have an SVD. Got to shoot one in the army with the Estonia guys that were attached to us. It was pretty awesome.

    7.62x54r StaBall and 168gr tmk

    Thanks Tommy boy and bandit320, if I can find some varget I'll try those. I was using sierra HPBT, so have quite a few 168 and 174 of 175, not looking at my bullets right now. Thought I would try the TMK just to see. From what I can tell the StaBall has similar burn rates to varget, or an i...

    7.62x54r StaBall and 168gr tmk

    Hello, I'm trying to see if anyone has tried the StaBall with the 7.62x54r? I had a barrel made for my nagant years ago, 24" benchmark barrel, 1-10 twist. Chambered for the 7.62x54r case and .308 Dia bore. I wanted to try the StaBall with the 168gr sierra tipped matchkings for the BC. I'm...

    Name is Ryan, used to be on here before kids. Getting back into reloading. Got locked out last week so figured I could do an introduction and give some feedback for couple things I bought. If someone does find this post, what helped me get back in is deleting my cookies and saved password...
