Reloading 7.62x54R

Anyone reload the 7.62x54R with the copper colored cases (headstamp says LVE 11 762x54R)? If you do I have probably 60 cases. If someone wants them for the price of shipping ($7.50), I'll give them to you as I have no need for them. First "I'll take them" gets them. I'll even toss in 50-60 5.56mm steel cased empties.

A very generous offer. I know of people who have reloaded the steel case 5.56mm empties, but haven't heard of anyone reloading the X54R. I wish that affordable X54R brass was more commonly encountered. Lapua is great brass, but difficult to justify for a range toy.

Midway catalog has Norma brass in 7.62x54R.

Hi,

Gotta keep your eyes open cuz it doesn't stay on the shelf very long, but Graf's has kept me in PRVI brass for the 7.52x54R for several years, at a reasonable price. I know nothing of the OPs cases, but suspect possible Berdan priming. That takes it off my wish list.

Yeah, I am aware of the Privi and Norma brass. I don't really need any right at the moment - not doing any reloading (or shooting) at this time, unfortunately. The locals kind of frown on it.

I just checked it, two things; it is steel case and it is Berdan primed.

It's here if anyone wants it. If no one claims it I'll just toss it, not worth anything to me.

I shoot this cartridge in my Model 95 Winchester and Encore single shot and have had no problems buying quality brass.
A great cartridge
