Never owned one but i like the way that rifle looks

Might be hard to find brass.I think the Russian ammo on the market is steel case.(dirt cheap)
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Russian/Chicom SKS ammo, not too common. Google " 7.62 x 54 ammo". Not cheap.

for brass buy Prvi Partizan PPU ammo it isn't half bad stuff to begin with and at a decent price then you have brass to reload.
it will also give you test groups of what a factory ammo will do then your looking for better than that with your reloads

I bought one at a garage sale for $50 about 30 years ago. It is more stock looking than yours . Could never get it to group good. Wife shot a bear in the yard with it once though. Norma was the only ammo manufacturer back then. The old Russian military stuff had, I believe, some corrosive powder, so cleaning had to be regular as I recall. Don't quote me on that! The round supposedly preformed somewhere between a 30-30 and a 308 if I remember correctly. I got some brass, but I got to save it.
P.S. I just looked at a box of ammo and noticed those rimmed cartridges you have to be careful to load correctly.

it is actually so close to a 308 that they took and wrapped a wire around the rim of the 7.62x51 nato cases 308 in dimensions but less pressure than 308 win and ran those in their 7.62x54 Nagants in Bosnia in the early 90s. I guess poor groups beat a club and they had to be poor groups that would be a .308 bullet sliding down a .311 bore.

Just to add a few things. The Mosin Nagant has an ingenious interupter to prevent rim lock. Also the .308 and 7.62x54 have about 17 thousands difference ahead of the web-enough to assume serious case separation. DO NOT attempt this. And for the record, Norma factory 7.62x54 has been loaded for many years with .308 diameter bullets, and they do not "slide" down a .311 bore. They obturate to fit as they are flat based. Many reload with .308 diameter bullets with reasonable success.

That scope though is going to negate the use of stripper clips unless it's a side mount. Stripper clips are required if you're going to run a mosin smoothly. Honesty I've never really had any kind of need to run stripper clips

Honesty I've never really had any kind of need to run stripper clips I guess you don't have feral junk appliances in your area. Got to watch out for those refrigerators and washing machines. LOL Seriously though if you do get a handful of mosin strippers hang on to them there no supply depot issuing those anymore.

Yep I got 2 of them. One has a built in bayonet the other I took the wood stock off and put it into a synthetic. Had to do some dremel work to get barrel free floated. Using the sites she came with I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a hog or deer within reasonable distance. I bought hunting loads and save the brass.
The surplus ammo has corrosive primers so clean accordingly.

Hey Wolfie, you asked a few days ago about a fav brush gun rifle. Lots of responses but you ain't chimed in? Why do you ask/ post so many questions without giving furture feedback? Don't mean to offend but guys like you kinda peeve me off on forums. You seldom chime in on anything other than your own stuff.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
