Load Specifications
Load data in caliber 7.62 x 54 R Russian Nagant with .311 | 182gr | Prvi Partizan FMJ BT bullet and 87 powders. The key underlying parameters are shown in the table above. The recommended powders for this cartridge and bullet combination are ReloadSwiss RS 60, Alliant Reloder-17 and Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR.
Important Notice: DO NOT go below Minimum Charge or above Maximum Charge. Since we have no control over the equipment and components used, any responsibility and liability for the results achieved is rejected.
Only powders/loads that match the current filter criteria are displayed: max pressure of a load ≤ 90% of max. standardized pressure, fill rate ≥ 80% and propellant combustion ≥ 95%. Use the sliders above the tables to adjust these thresholds.
Charge: Powder weight in grains. Start with the minimum load and work up carefully.
FR (Fill Rate): Case fill as a percentage. Values above 100% mean compressed loads.
MaxP / %: Maximum chamber pressure in bar and as a percentage of the standardized maximum for this caliber.
V(0): Muzzle velocity in feet per second (fps) at the standardized barrel length.
z (Powder Burn): Estimated propellant combustion percentage at bullet exit.

Recommended = one of the top powders for this cartridge and bullet combination.
ᴾ possible press load - work up slowly to this load while watching for signs of excessive pressure.
This overview compares 101 powders for 7.62 x 54 R Russian Nagant loaded with the .311 | 182gr | Prvi Partizan FMJ BT. ReloadSwiss RS 60 delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 2,723 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 1,575 fps to 2,723 fps. Accurate 3100 gives the best case fill at 100 %, and 101 of the 101 powders fall inside the usable 80–100 % fill window.
Relative to the caliber's maximum pressure (390 MPa), the top charges use 53–90 %, leaving at least 10 % headroom. The 182.0 gr projectile in 0.311" calls for a 1:12.5 twist; slower twists will usually not stabilise this weight. Accurate 3100, Accurate 4350, Alliant Reloder-16 reach 100 % fill or more at maximum charge, so these are compressed loads: they need a long drop tube to seat cleanly and react sensitively to the case capacity of your own brass lot. ReloadSwiss RS 60, Alliant Reloder-17, Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR rank at the top here: for 7.62 x 54 R Russian Nagant with the .311 | 182gr | Prvi Partizan FMJ BT they combine a high case fill with complete burn and sit in the upper velocity band. As outliers, Accurate 2700, Accurate 3100, Alliant Reloder-26 burn incompletely and react more sensitively to barrel length and temperature. Always begin at the start load and work up in small increments while checking case and primer for pressure signs.
