you people do realize there are guns other than AK/SKS/AR15 chambered in 7.62x39, yes?
LIES! Lies, I tell you!

you should try it. I loaded up 100 with the stuff I had and was very pleased. I loaded a hornady 123gr bullet over 24.0gr of win 680 and it shot great in my ak. set the sight to 200 and rang steal at 200 yards, set it to 300 and rang steal at 300 yards.I've got a couple thou of the Yugo surplus brass-cased stuff, plus probably 750 or so Wolf.
I have .310 projectiles, brass, and dies to reload as well....just no real desire at this point.
don't try to reload the yugo stuff, you will break a decapping pin... ask how I know.yeah but do you have a decapper that'll work with 'em?
i'd rather just stick with boxer brass, than have to buy another $60 tool and special primers that only work with one caliber.

if you have everything on hand why not?Why? what's the point? I just bought 1k rounds for less than $.20 per round. Just projectiles can't be had that cheap.

To be fair, the ones that can't handle the steel-cased stuff tend to vanish off the market quick. The first-gen Sig 556R and the PTR-32 GenI come to mind.you people do realize there are guns other than AK/SKS/AR15 chambered in 7.62x39, yes?
not every gun chambered in that round can do steel-cased plinkster ammo.

fair enough. I tried it because I have 2k bullets, about 350 primed cases, and a few pounds of win 680.because i'd rather use the primers and powder for calibers that ARE cheaper to reload, like 7-08, 308, 223, 222, 243, etc. etc.
Since I mostly shoot at an indoor range, I've actually been buying Tula 7.62x39 from Walmart, then I pull the bullets and reload with .308 125gr Hornady SST bullets. I costs me just about the same or slightly less than buying brass cased ammo. It's time consuming, but it is more accurate for me b/c my AR barrel measures .308 rather than .310 (most Russian ammo/AK's).
I basically do the same thing this guy does, but I use a collet style puller.
If you're really going through that much reloading/rebuilding effort to eke better accuracy from steel case Tula 7.63x39, more power to you. Personally I'd be building brass cased ammo on my bench tailored to my firearm instead. To each, his own.
Since he mentioned Tula it leads me to believe he's pulling the bullets from the cases and reattaching different ones so his indoor range will allow them. Tula 7.62x39 attracts a magnet.
