Feeding a Mosin Nagant Revolver alternant ammo

[walletscared]

I've been wanting to get one of those russian revolvers but the ammo is hard to get where I live(Hawaii) but now have heard that you can use .32 H&R mag or .32 S&W longs in the gun. Has anyone tried this?

you can use .32 s&w long, I've never heard anyone say the h&r mag is OK though.

Keep in mind you will swell the cases, when I tried some of them split and none of them would have been reloadable.

just for the record, are we talking about the Nagant M1895?

yes, and it would be incorrect to call it a "mosin nagant" revolver
