reloading for 7.62 x 39

i have checked a few of the other threads about reloading for this, but no one seems to mention the "ak kiss". i am not set up for reloading for this, yet, as i don't think it would be worth it right now. but one day it might. i know ak's are pretty rough on brass in the ejection, does this dent in the side effect the cases' ability to be reloaded? or will it just shorten the cases life?

Well most of the cheap ammo sold for the 7.62x39 is not re-loadable because it's steel "brass" but there is no reason not to buy new brass and load that up?

The dies are cheap as would be a starter press/kit.

If you want to start reloading you might as well do it for a caliber you will shoot allot of!

I have had no problems reloading brass from my AK that have the dent. You should be good to go.
