Source for pulled 7.62x39 ( .310) projectiles?

[jerrymrc]

My russian white box, 1440 per case measure .311, what is this wolf you speak of

What most buy and shoot through an AK and then report that it shoots like a shotgun on the net 1000's of times. So few load for it but it has to be one of the top 10 that one would see a result from handloading VS buying ammo.

I have a bunch of reloadable brass case, boxer primed 7.62x39. I couldn't give it away. I'd like to see affordable components for the caliber, but when one can buy it from AIM and other outlets.

Lurch did you slug your barrel or just hope for the best?

I have a few 147 pulls to work through but the supply is slim

I like the 120-130 grain .310 offerings but am kind of nervous to try it through my barrel

From what I have read, most guys who are running the .310s are not haveing any issues. Although some are haveing some chambering issues.

I would just like to get a small quantity to test before I go buy 1000.

For just to try the .310 let me know. I can send a few Hornaday that are .310. The Golden West were great bullets but they are no longer around.

When I got out of X39 I sold 6K of bullets, 5K of brass and 16lbs of powder. I did keep some behind because I do have the one gun in it. Nobody wanted the old small-primer brass so I have 800 pieces or so. I had a source that I was buying brass for $80 per K and sorting it. Selling the extra on Ebay for good $$. Blaster Bob bought the last of my Lapua brass.

The Vmax .310 bullets shoot very well out of my AK and 300bk.

After all this AK talk I would say that I myself had no problem trying the lighter bullets (123gr) that were up to .310 as long as they were all copper jacketed. If I were going to run the pulls I would want to slug the barrel and measure the thickness of the bi-metallic jacket.

I would hate to be cheap in the beginning only to wind up with a barrel that now wants only .310 bullets because once you wear through the copper it is steel on steel going down the pipe. Just a thought.

I read quite a bit about others doing it and then gave it a try. Had a few chambering issues at first but after opening up the feed ramps it worked a lot better.

I bought several thousand of the Z-Max AK bullets for my 300. Final price was dirt cheap.

Although I did have to run them through a C&H .3085 bullet size die. They work excellent now. Still plenty accurate, but the pressures are much lower.

And running a copper/lead bullet through a sizing die works fine. I think some of the guys running the pulls are getting a spring-back from the bi metallic jackets IMO.

I just use .308 bullets.

[Abomb5800]

I think I will just do the m80 projectiles.
