(nam era) yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for I am the meanest SOB in the valley!
Slugging the bore is fairly simple but you need the right equipment. Hammering a lead slug the wrong way can damage the bore.
I have been using the slugs from Lead Bullet Technologies. They are specially designed for that purpose. Works easily and can tell you more about bore size and condition. Cost a bit but is worth it.
Proper size bullets are available for the 7.62x54. They are the same as the 303 British, .312. Match bullets are available, too.
I have been loading since 1972 and am always glad to help someone get started. It is easy enough to do but has to be done properly.
Ask here and I will try to answer any questions.
