.312 bullets can be used for?
 

I have a bunch of 7.62x54r that has corroded and either won't fire or is not safe to fire. This is most commonly for use in Moisin Ganant and Dragunov pattern rifles. The .312 diameter bullet is probably too big for .308 or Blackout reloading so aside from reloading it into 54r cases, what other calibers use a .312 bullet?

I don't have a problem pulling the bullet and setting them aside till I get up the urge to reload for the NDM-86 but I don't have any dies or brass, and I have just under 3K rounds on hand so I am not tight on inventory. Just checking to see what else is out there.

my 327FM uses .312 Bullets but I think they'd be a little long for the cylinder funny.

303 British???

In addition to .303 British, there's also 7.65 Argentine Mauser, and 7.7 Japanese Arisaka. If you have any of those, slug the bore. I bet they'd like .312.

why do people buy this stuff....:facepalm2:

Ok the Mauser and the .303 British are in the family library of firearms. However I don't plan on shooting either of those so I will probably pull the bullets and powder and wait till I have 7.62x54R brass. Then I will see about dies. I was really bummed when I found out they were .312 and not .308. If they were .308 I could use them for 300 Blackout but .004 more would not be good.

Have you ever shot a Mosin? Will put a smile on your face for a week...nanner

I took a friend shooting with the AR and my Mosin and he shot the AR for a while, then switched to the Mosin. After four rounds, he set it down and wouldn't shoot it anymore. I still call him a wimp to this day.

Now Howard.....you should remember I'm a M1A guy.....well, switching to the PTR platform. Just don't see a need for the rifle or the round. Same with ar's.

They are a little more expensive now but when I got mine, I paid just a little more than $120 and the ammo was cheaper than 22 at the time. This has been my Plummer since Sandy Hook.

The fact that it could be a battle rifle if push came to shove is just a bonus.
