    @Cordite. Depends how ridiculously you want to compress it

    202 LYM LRN GC 311299 (205gr), seated 0.310" deep for an OAL of 2.363", out of an imaginary super long throated 24" barrel... 33gr of H414 for 13.7% compression, 50kpsi and a whopping 2118fps.

    Basically impossible to get yourself into trouble without needing to hang off of the press to seat the bullet. Expect fireballs.

    Dang! 30grains should do. The 7.62 Soviet is begging for heavy boolits! -- A most fortunate twist... (-:
