I have a few pounds of Win 760 powder to burn up. I'd like to us it in my MN M-91/59s. I also have some .312" Hornady 150 gr. Spire Points and some .311" Sierra 180 gr. Spitzers. Does anyone have any load data for the 7.62X54R and Win 760 powder?
Thanks in advance for the help!

MauserMoe, can't come up with anything from Winchester on that cartridge and powder. Though they say its great for 30-06.

Sorry.
