I'm thinking about loading a few 7.62X25 cases with 110 gr carbine bullets. I have data for 100 gr bullets but nothing heavier. Any thoughts??:icon_scratch:

I am pretty sure that your not going to get the best performance out of the 110 gr. bullets. They may or may not be accurate depending on the rate of twist in your barrel and the velocity will be down quite a bit. But you will never know till you try. I do have a load for a 115 lead bullet with gas check but it uses the Winchester 230P powder. 2.6 gr. max for 750 fps and 145 ME. I am sure this is the old Lyman cast bullet for the 30 carbine. If you use Bullseye I would not go above 3 grs. with a 110 fmj to start with.
