Lapua Bullets D166 for 7.62x53R(54R)

1
Starting to look for supplies and I’m interested in a few Lapua products. I’ve done the usual internet searches and I’m not having much luck finding Lapua D166 bullets for reloading. So I enter “Lapua D166 4Pl/HL 7005 .310 200grs” and I get a string that leads me to Grafs. It seemed from their product description that this bullet was for anything but a Finn Mosin. The product number looked close and people who bought it had also bought Lapua cases for 7.62x54R. So I ordered some. No dies yet, but why not. I’m thinking this is a D166. Thoughts?

Some Mosin owners are super serious about target shooting. I used to visit some of those forums. It gives you a whole new appreciation of the Mosin Nagant 91/30.
