Russian Nagant revolvers


Recommended Posts

Any one shoot black powder in their Nagants? Have two 1933, 1944 , have dies and brass is on the way. Have some .315 rb, and 89 gr wad cutters for multiple shot loads. Anxious to start testing loads. Will use original brass and with slight modifications the Lee dies can load them to look like factory loads. Will use powder coated rb and cast lead bullets. Hard to find fired brass for them. The double action triggers feel like 50+ lbs and just cocking the hammer for single action takes both hands. Three thousands difference in the bores of the two pistols. You can lighten the double action pull and make it smoother, expect them to be fun guns to shoot. You tube video had ten reloads on the factory PPU brass, with the modified Lee dies.

Why would you want to shoot black powder in a Nagant?

Old retired guys have to be entertained by something. Love the smell of real black powder. Sealed chambers makes clean up easy.

Well then, go for it! It wouldn't be dangerous or anything, just nasty and corrosive.
