Lately I've been seeing the 7.62 Nagant revolvers all over for around $110, and I'm really tempted to pick one up. However, I have some reservations. The surplus ammunition for them seems to be drying-up (which might explain why they are becoming so affordable), and I don't want to own anything I can't take out and shoot.
This leaves the prospect of reloading. I have found Lee dies that are supposed to successfully reload Winchester 32-20 brass into safe, shootable rounds for the Nagant revolver, but I understand it is not an understaking for the faint of heart (even for an experienced reloader).
Has anyone had success reloading for the Nagant revolver? I would really like to add a military surplus revolver to my collection, but the Colt/Smith & Wesson 1917's are a little cost prohibative, and the Webleys with shaved cylinders that can use the half-moon clips and .45acp are getting as rare as hen's teeth.
Anyone have any words of wisdom they could share with me?
