I am shooting a SVT-40 at a local range...and they do not allow shooting any steel core ammo to be used.... so instead of buying new ammo I bought a big load of surplus 7.62X54 Russianicon .... and plan on pulling the bullets and replacing them with bullets I bought at Midway....problem is the original bullet weights something like 146g and I can not find that weight....all they have for the 7.62 (.311") is 125g and 200g bullets....

Using the power that was in the surplus ammo...(WHO KNOWS WHAT IT IS) anyone have an idea of what to expect ?? Dangerous ? I would sure hate to replace the powder...but again I would really hate to replace a hand...
