If the forum can debunk some of my understandings, I might add reloading 7.62x39 the list of ammo I reload. I shoot 7.62x39 in a Russian SKS and a Bulgarian AK.

I was under the impression that because of the bore size differences great groups were not possible. My best groups were around 4 inches at 100 yards with the latest batch of Russian JHP. The rifle with better sites a proper rest, and a better shooter could probable do better.

I was told with brass casings, I might rip the head off leaving the rest of the brass in the chamber. With the stronger steel casings I would not have the problem.

I didn't want to reload for each gun.

Thanks

PS. If someone knew a load for a case lead load it would reduce cost, but then again the AK and SKS have a gas operated system. How would a lead load effect them?
