I picked up a nice Husky Nagant revolver yesterday, and I'd like to shoot it. (I reload for my Russian Nagants already) Anyone have any starting loads and bullet suggestions? I read that it's about a .323 bore, but I tried slugging it with a .314 wadcutter and it was a good, snug fit. I plan to trim new Starline .32-20 brass to length, and then fire-form it.
Also, what's the year of production? It's Husqvarna with a 3 digit matching serial of 841.
Thanks a lot,
Chris

You dont have to fire form it, just trim in and reload with led .32 bullet, it will work

I use trimmed .32-20 brass, a Rapine bullet (mould # 319125) sized to .321" (@125gr) and 4.8gr of 2400 powder for approx. 656fps. I've been told that untrimmed .32-20 brass can be used and it will put the bullet closer to the end of the cylinder. As I have a lot of trimmed brass I have not tried this.
