I forgot to add that I use CCI primers in my 7.62X39 loads. I haven't loaded any S&B brass but have read that it's good stuff, I haven't bought any loaded ammo from that maker. Winchester and PMC brass both prime easily at least they do for me in this round but accuracy isn't the best, not on par with Lapua, K-P, or IMI anyway. with Lapua and K-P (no diff that I can tell)being some better than IMI. your mileage may vary.
