Saw Cabela's has some 7.62x53r brass for sale. I think I can reloading it for my Finn mosin, right? How about reloading for mosin 91/30?

If it is Lapua brass it is THE best brass in existence. And works for both 7,62x54R and 7,62x53R

7.62x53R is the best choice in brass for your Finn. It was made for it.
