.32 ACP Cartride Sleeve for Mosin?

[Punisher422]

I found this on Sportman's Guide and was wondering if anyone had any experience with one.

I've decided to start reloading and casting for my M44. The components for 7.62x54R are scarce around here, and I thought this might be easier. I know I can get all of the components for .32 ACP locally.

I am looking for a way to get some gallery loads to practice with. Last time I took my M44 out and shot it more than twice it I could clap with my shoulder blades, which makes it not nearly as enjoyable IMO.

Use a 32 acp bullet and 2.5g of unique inhte Russian case as a galelry load.Works well.

Only had one such, was .22 rf for .223 in TC Contender, accuracy was lousy.

If you are going to reload, the recoil problem can be eliminated.

If you want a low velocity light boolit gallery loads, take a look here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=87261

Thanks Hang Fire. I guess I'll just wait until I bite the bullet and order everything I need for 7.62x54R, and then I won't be limited to a single shot with with the insert.

How does a .310/.311/312. bullet work in those worn out mosin oversized bores?

I bought one of those silly inserts for use with 7.62X25 Tok ammo. Shot patterns at 25yds., the insert was a pain in the butt to eject and then you still had to push out the spent 7.62 case. It was worth a try but just barely. Save your money and buy something useful.

yup I have to agree with the consensus here tried a 32 acp in .303 british insert , was not impressed , reasonable accurate but a pain to use. throw in .303 british headspace issues and it is a recipe for frustration.

If you are going to shoot single shot with it then you can load your gallery load into the case without sizing the neck. Just make sure the boolit is large enough to stay in place. Lube helps hold them.

Thanks guys. Any tips on finding local used Russian brass that isn't Berdan primed? I'm going to have to order a lot of stuff over the internet (dies, brass, auto-prime holder, etc), which isn't a big deal, but I hate paying shipping if I can find everything local.

this brand of ammo is reloadable case, this is where i've bought most of my 54R ammo from, just so i can get the brass!

Not quite as powerful but my hunting buddy Brian Hammond makes the "Game Getter" - a cartridge shaped insert that allows one to shoot a round ball out of you gun at subsonic speed using a .22 blank (ramset cartridge).

I have a number of these and they are very accurate.

The insert from Sportsman's Guide works fine in my gun. I think I used .32 S&W Long though, not .32 acp. Accuracy was useable to 25 yds. But now it just sits on the shelf, another novelty. Squib loads will do the same thing.

Last saturday I discovered a young gentleman that makes chamber inserts that are well made. At the present time they are only made as smoothbore but he intends to expand to rifled versions. He has developed a insert espevially for the Taurus Judge that is bored off-center and allows use of 22 LR rounds. I purchased a 410/32 Insert. This should allow the use of 32 S&W, 32 S&W Long and 32 H&R Mag rounds. It should also allow chambering the 327 Ruger round but I don't believe that I care to try that round in my eighty year old shotgun. Check out this young mans web site at gunadapters.com

Check Grafs and see if they don't have the brass.

Yep.

Prvi Partisan is good brass, and $48 per 100 is what passes for a decent price these days for
somewhat oddball brass. OUCH!
