Question about use of Pulldown 30-06 projectiles in 7.62

Can I load pulldown 30-06 projectiles for use in a 7.62x54?

Guess I should have asked before I bought them.
THanks.

Don't see why not. Just don't be surprised if you cannot use the cannelure for crimping--OAL might be too long or too short.

For 'zample, M2 ball bullets must be seated deeper than the cannelure if used in .308. M80s seated short in the .30-06 work fine, though.....

Whatdya got a Mosin Nagant?

I've used Nosler Ballistic tips (180grainers) with great results in my M-44.

You should have no problems.
