Cheap 7.62x54R reloads

[Slack]

I am wanting to reload some 7.62x54R for use at the indoor range. I rarely get to a real rifle range, but I go to H&H all of the time. Sometimes I want to shoot one of my Mosin Nagant's and don't really feel like spending $.75-$1.00 per round just to do some plinking. Of course I can't use most surplus as it is steel core/jacket.

What I really need is some surplus Yugo 7.62x45R, but that appears to have completely dried up.

So I am looking for a cheap, budget, low cost, bargain recipe for reloading 7.62x54R. I would like to keep costs down to under $.25 per round not including brass. Accuracy is obviously not a prime factor. Since I will be shooting at H&H the maximum distances will be 30yds.

Any thoughts?

18.0 4759 123 VMax - very accurate! very cheap.
if you cast: any bullet with 16.0 2400 or 13.0 of Reddot

Start casting your own bullets.

Can't say it enough. Don't know why more people don't do it.

I do cast, my problem is that I can't find the same accuracy as with jacketed.... I'll keep trying.

Well I am not prepared to cast at this time, but I will definitely consider it.

MoBoost, can you recommend a place to pick up the vmax cheap? I was finding prices in the .25-.30 range. Not a bad price, but still above my price point. I could get by cheaper pulling the bullets from my 7.63x39 Yugo stash.

So who wants to sell me some cast bullets? Anyone selling some suitable molds?

Wasn't talking about you Andre. Just saying in general.
