Okay, I'll find one and get back to you
Here is the deal...For the Nagant revolver you either have to purchase factory type ammo or do a bit of work to the gun.
Remember the $75 SKS and the $100 Norwegian Mauser?
Include my $41 to-my-door MAS 36 from Numrich!Yep, and the $69 Mosin M44 and M91/30; $89 Mosin M38; $117 CZ52; $150 P-64; the list goes on and on. *ALL* good investments.
They are 2x as expensive as they one were, and appear to not come with a lanyard. Not cool. But, I wanted one at one time... I'm just totally torn up and don't know what to do.
I use the factory alright, but I reckon folding the case mouth is really unnecessary. I trim the case short enough not to impede the cylinder's rotation. It needs to be long enough to get inside the forcing cone when the revolver is cocked to form the seal. After the bullet is seated below mouth, the mouth needs to be closed up a bit to facilitate the seal. I found the best bullet for job be the plated bullet for 30 carbine. Its conical shape works best to form the seal.It is real simple...... you can put the gas seal back on if you use the factory cases but all that bending is going to decrease case life dramatically and Star 32-20 cases are expensive enough.

Annealing, a highly technical process based on holding a case at mid point while rotating between the fingers and heating the case mouth at the tip of a propane flame until the pain reaches your brain and you are forced to let go. The case then falls into a pan of water waiting below. If you find your fingers will not let go of the brass, you have overheated the cases.
It is 0.308". I know it is smaller than the groove diameter, but it actually works the best amount all the thing I have tried. I certainly tried 32 cal, 0.312" to 0.313". They will not work for gas seal. The rounds will be too big to go into the cylinder.What diameter is that bullet, tango?
You mean it can go in the cylinder with gas seal? Mine couldn't.I must be doing something wrong with the .312" XTP's then ..... they seemed to work.
I hand load the rounds gas sealed using cheapy Lee .30 carbine die. The bullet is 110gr copper plated for .30 carbine. Powder is trail boss. Shoots surprisingly well.
Managed to lighten the trigger pull by bending the main spring. DA is still astrocious as supposed. The screw trick is useless. It is not doing anything but limiting the trigger rest. But revolvers require complete trigger reset.

My previous post on the subject a while ago didn't attract much interest, only one response if I remember correctly, so I didn't elaborate much. I could write up the details if folks find useful.Have you written up how you're reloading for this cartridge? I have the Lee dies for 7.62x38 Nagant and have only succeeded in ruining brass in my attempts.
