Grandson got a mosin and ammo is hard to find and crazy price. Going to help him learn to reload with my press. Soooo where can I find brass and what bullets to use, loads and powders??
It is a 1939 model. Tons of reloading experience just totally new bullet to me.
Thanks.

You can still find ammo for less than .75/rd in stock most places. And hunting ammo is going for about $1. That may be cheaper than reloading by the time you track down all the components. Gone are the days of $99 spam cans of ammo, but it shouldn’t be too hard to dig up some cheap surplus, if you’re just looking to bust some milk jugs, and you could save the brass if you can find ammo without steel cases.

Both PPU & S&B make reloadable brass- they are also sold under the brandnames Winchester(S&B) & Grafs(PPU).
I read somewhere on the internet that PPU is better than S&B soitmustbetrue...
I had 250 new cases but sold them @.50ea last year...
