[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1081498, member: 69478"] For the price you will pay for these bullets, I would look into getting a different rifle chambered for a modern round. The 7.62x54r is a very powerful and capable round, but it isn't the easiest to load for if you intend to hunt at long range. Sierra makes a 174gr .311 MatchKing with a BC of .499, this is about the best you're going to get. Save the money you would spend on custom slugs and upgrading the Mosin and put it towards a new rifle. You can pick up a Remington 700 ADL at Walmart for $379 when they go on sale. Get one in .308, .30-06, or even 7mmRM and get good with it. Later on you can upgrade the stock and rebarrel it. [/QUOTE]
