[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3337977, member: 41653"] Look at the top of your barrel/receiver, just ahead of the loading port, where all the rest of the markings are. Look for a 'D' mark. That would show the rifle is compatible with the larger diameter Russian ammo. The Finn's wanted to make certain they could shoot captured ammo. I don't trust calipers for accurate diameter measurements, a micrometer is better, but one uses what one has. As a rule, these Mosins seem to prefer heavier projectiles, I'm looking for a 200gr mould for mine. If the 185s you have are the 308 dia, and hollow base, go with them. [/QUOTE]
