Zip I have been shooting the Lee TL 90 grain in my Moslin Nagant rifles as well as my SKS. They are fun to shoot they don't chamber well so I have to help them in. I loaded some in 30-30 cases sized to .311 they chamber and cycle we'll in my model 94. But I have not got out to try them yet.

daboone, I put a cast bullet between the main spring and frame it lightened the single action and made the double action doable. You can adjust the bullet by smashing it with a hammer a little at a time. I can help you with reloads for your Nagant if you want. Let me know if you are using 32-20 cases or 7.62x38R cases. The Lee M95 dies load 32-20 brass as is. I was able to load real Nagant brass with the Lee Nagant die set. I ordered parts for the dies from Lee to make it a lot easier should be here tomorrow. I all so modded a M1 Carbine Lee Loader to load Nagant brass it works real good

Thank you for this response. Now I'll boldly ask for another ;)
I'm not visualising the bullet ..... frame for the trigger pull. Any chance of a photo? :?:

Some guys use a nut I could not find one the right size. The bullet worked good for me because I could adjust it to just the right size. Hope it works well for you.
