The Mosen Negaunt 762x38r

Has any one tried to reload this round? From what I can figure out it is quite challenging to do!

Well, Hello there and Welcome to INGO

getting brass is probably a trick all in itself.

I have some factory brass that's still loaded. Not much, but some

I also have dies to load it, but I've not tried yet.

The Nagant M1895 revolver in 7.62x38R is a really odd duck. If you aren’t already an experienced reloader you might start with a more common cartridge.

Speaking to the OP of course.

Nagant was a Belgian. Huh

Designed by Belgian arms designer Léon Nagant, this revolver was chambered in the 7.62x38 mmR cartridge. Nagant had previously designed a similar revolver for the Belgians in 1878, which was subsequently adopted by Norway, Sweden, Serbia and Luxembourg. This design differed from the others in the way that Nagant sought to solve the age-old problem of the loss of gas pressure as the bullet makes the jump from the revolver cylinder to the barrel breech. This gap can dramatically reduce projectile velocity and, in some older blackpowder arms, can cause chain-fires resulting in multiple rounds discharging at once. Nagant’s design utilized a cartridge with the bullet sunk into the body of the case, allowing the head of the cartridge to be pushed forward into the barrel as the revolver was fully cocked. By bridging this gap and eliminating the escape of gas pressure, it is estimated that 70 fps is added to the muzzle velocity of the projectile.

You can find it on Wiki, but careful, there is also a web site of the same name with some less than desirable effects. As per Brave.

The whole post has my spidy sense tingling.

It is tough to CC with the pistol version. 762 is just to large a bore for a practical pistol.


*side note with so little powder you could probably outrun it.

I've heard of Mosin Nagant, but not Mosen Negaunt. Post a link to whatever a Mosen Negaunt is.

OK, thought you meant 762 no decimal point.

Ive been reloading for over forty years, and this is a odd one. Just asking if anyone had any experience with it......

They've gone up in price for sure. Used to see them for $99.00 all the time.

Nothing wrong with trying to load a new cartridge. I believe some have had success shooting .32 long from the Nagant revolvers. You don’t get as good of a gas seal but it works. The Nagant is a .32 caliber rimmed cartridge same as some US cartridges. Use at your own risk etc….

A friend told me that they are close to thousand dollars now. Don't know if that is true or not. The one I have is in fantastic shape with all the accessories.
