the winchester is made by S&B so if you can get that it is another option. PPU is ok at best. But the brass is very good. S&B/Win brass has weird primer pockets. They are a little shallow and very tight. Not crimp but the diameter is smaller than what we use for primers. They will work but you will see if you reload.
Any powder that works for 308win will work in the 54r. 4895 and varget are 2 of my favorites. I reload for several Finn Mosins but not a semi auto. The 174gr bullets are awesome but hard to get. Hornady was also making them but they are not doing it now. Don't be afraid of the Hornady FMJ bullet. It shoots almost as good as the 174gr HPBT

Well,
I haven’t been to the range yet, still researching the ammo. It’s pretty, lol. Seems well made, forged receiver not stamped, wondering if it’s Russian parts rebranded…? I’ll report back on it as a shooter in October, I have to book our 1000 yd range…If Atlantic doesn’t import a ton of them I think it will hold its collector value…..Worth 8500.00…I think it’s more subjective at this point than objective/-As a shooter, 8500.00 will buy more accuracy than the SVD will probably deliver….

Thank you sir for responding, I appreciate the detailed comments. I’ll report back after my range date in October.

If only we had Euro pricing on these man, a Izmash Tigr in .308 win would be a great deer hunting rifle.
