The Oracle
Looking for a powder that will produce as nearly as possible the FPS in a 16 or 18 inch barrel.
If such an animal exists.
I'm getting ready to convert one of my "regular" Mosin Nagants to a lightweight scout rifle.
I've already installed a synthetic aftermarket stock and fixing to start work on the barrel, trigger and scope mount.
7.62X54R has virtually the same case capacity as the .308 but the Sammy chamber specification is around 56,000 psi. So I'm looking to get a complete burn and decent FPS out of a shorter barrel so the powder is critical.
