I chronographed some of my reloads today. The 100 gr SWC over 3.5 grains of Red Dot gave a disappointing 761 fps average from .32-20 brass. Its back to the loading bench, I expect 900 fps out of this...

If you reload 30 carbine you can use these dies to reload 7.62 Nagant. You need a #6 shell holder for the 32/20 brass. Dies even put a nice crimp on the bullet.

On some other boards the .30 Carbine die set with Starline .32-20 brass has been the popular setup for a while. I haven't yet started reloading for the Nagant, but firing some of that 1970s Russian...

BTT - Great info. I'm seaching through the form for a place to start for loading info. It looks like Unique & Red Dot are the most popular, anyone using Titegroup in their Nagants?

I have not tried the titegroup or played with the caliber in some time as newer guns have absorbed my interests along with paper patched bullets. Winter is fast approaching and hopefully will provide...
