Default Re: 1895 nagant revolver???

I just finished loading some 7.62 nagant rounds tonight....I used this data
http://www.hodgdon.com/PDF/Trail-Boss-data.pdf
I found that 70% case capacity with full length nagant brass (not 32-20) was 2.7 gn of trail boss and 80% was 3.0 gn, I'll report back once I have given them a try. I use the 98 gn plated DEWC from grafs.com and the brass is from buffaloarms.com (headstamp says 7.62 Nagant G.F.L.)
