    May pick some upfor eventual bullet pulling for 300blk... or actually using in an ak :)

    Be careful. Even though 7.62x39 and 7.62x35 (300blk) sound like they use the same bullet diameter, they dont.

    7.62x39 uses a bullet diameter of .311
    7.62x35 uses a bullet diameter of .308

    Yeah definitely good advice, done some reading on this and seems most ak 7.62 comes out between .309 and .310 (majority of it in the field) with a bunch of guys running them at those sizes directly.

    Most recommend running through a .308 resizing die if .311 (and .310 if uncertain).

    Strangely guys who have compared both report lower pressies running them without resizing (thinking resizing may compress the round in some way).

    Still good observation though and lots of good reading on this topic too!
