I still find it odd, but now at least we know what the problem was. I can remount the scope to sight it in and kick ass.

Nope, left them at the range. I mounted the scope, so I'll take a picture the next time I go.

I think what you need to find is some of the Russian surplus sniper ammo. It looks just as crude as the rest of the 7.62x54R stuff. But it is supposedly very accurate in Nagants.
The following is from a lucky gunner ad. I would also check with Privi and see what sized bullet their 7.62 x54R match ammo uses.
I agree that undersized bullets could cause the problem. Generally Russian Nagants are .311" and Finnish Nagants are .308.

This hard to find Russian surplus 7N1 7.62x54r ammo is designed for Russian snipers and is world-renowned for its premium accuracy. This surplus ammunition was manufactured in 1997 and is quite new by surplus standards.
This ammo comes sealed in a 440 round spam can to keep it dry to ensure that this ammo stands the test of time. This ammo is a perfect fit for your Dragunov or Tiger to deliver pinpoint accuracy.
Note, this ammo is corrosive but a thorough cleaning afterwards will keep your rifle functioning for a long time. Additionally, this ammo is considered magnetic so check your range rules prior to purchasing.

Read this page. They say Hornady and Speer both make ammo with 3.11 diameter bullets.

Nah, what I need is the Finnish Lapua D166 that was meant to go through it.
D166 is 309" , ain't it? This is,why I went to cast loads with my nagant. Tired of trying to found bullets that are 28 cents or more ea. I'm also,to the point I don't really want to "clean" my rifle every time I shoot it.

Nope, .311 diameter and the barrel of the M39 is meant for it.

That's why I want a lead mold in the shape of the D166

That's going to be tough one...... might just be better off with a 314" 200 grain cast bullet. You could gas check it and with the correct alloy push it up into the 2000fps range?

I thought gas checks suck?
