Sierra 150 and 180 grain bullet question

I have the opportunity to pick up some Sierra 150 grain (#2300) and some Sierra 180 grain (#2310) in .311 diameter for a good price. Has anyone reloaded these for the M38 or Type 53 and how do they shoot? Just wondering if the twist rate is different on the carbines than it is on the long barreled Mosins and how either of these projectiles would work in a carbine.

All the milsurp ammo is .311, so that is what is meant to be shot in both.
