I am going to buy a Mosin Nagant and have been doing research on what to look for when I purchase one. I may even purchase a couple of them since they are so cheap. Anyway, my question is not about the firearm itself, but on reloading for it. I am going to purchase a few of those 440 round cases of ammo when I get the thing. Anyway, from what I understand the old ammo uses corrosive primers. What I was going to do is pull the rounds, collect the powder, decap the old corrosive primers. Then reload the rounds with Large rifle primers which is what my manual says to use. Reuse the bullets and the powder, and my only cost is the cost of the primer. Well I can assume that 7.62x54r is a military round and will probably have the primers crimped. Is this the case, and if so, I know I will have to remove the crimp.
Can anyone provide me some information on reloading this old ammo.
Thanks,
