In my days of convalescence, I am pretty bored. So I decided I would attempt to handload ammunition approximating the Finnish 7.62x53r round. Consequently, I purchased 100 of these .311 200 grain rebated boat tail full metal jacket bullets.
I haven't settled on a powder yet, but figure I'll try RL15.
After I ordered this box of bullets at $50, I began to have buyer's remorse in a big way, considering that I still have milsurp ammo I can shoot in my rifles so chambered.
Oh well. Maybe I'll learn something that will come in handy some day.
Anybody have a charge weight of whichever powder with 200 grain bullets that worked well for him?
