Okay here is one tried and true load data I tested through a PU scoped 91/30 Mosin sniper for accuracy potential, and it does give a tight cluster. Actual velocity across my Chrony is at 2500fps. This load was worked up using Sierra's data:
Lapua casings
CCI large rifle primers
50gr of Hodgdon H-380 powder
180gr Remington Corelokt .311 (.303 type) diameter bullets.
If you find other load data for the 180gr bullets, always start at the minimum loads, especially when firing a .311 jacketed bullet through a .310 bore. Using .311's is especially good for worn out bore Mosins, to bring accuracy back.

In factory ammo I recommend using Sellier & Bellot 180gr S.P.; good ammo and the brass is reloadable.
762mm- I'm just getting into reloading for my 91/30 and my M-44 so that bullet weight you recommended is one I'm gonna try, since I've had good results with the factory ammo in that weight.
PS- Could you post some of your load data? Would greatly appreciate it.
