Source for pulled 7.62x39 ( .310) projectiles?

[Abomb5800]

So I am in the process of getting started in reloading 300 BLK. I have looked at pulled M80 projectiles, but with pulled 7.62x39 projectiles be half the cost, I would like to go that route. I do under stand the difference in size and that they may need to be sized.

Does anyone know a good source for the pulled 7.62x39 projectiles?

If you want plinking ammo I use 110gr rd nose with really good success. You can pick up 500 for about $50.

That train left over a year ago. They do not need to be sized in most cases. Many that have sized them report the accuracy goes out the window. My load using Golden West 123 grn X 39 bullets (309.5 dia). Hoser brass, 18gr H110, #41 primer, Light crimp. this runs 2240 FPS out of a PSA 16" 1-8 barrel and as accurate as my 110gr Vmax loads.

Since I load for both 300blk and X39 I tried them because I had them. They run great out of both but .308 bullets in a true AK barrel will get you normal talked about groups in an AK but then that is what wolf uses in their ammo.

I just bit the bullet so to speak and know that loading for it is going to cost compared to all those 147gr .308 bullets that were $55 per K just 7 years ago.

Will the round nose cycle through a ar? I have completed the upper yet, but it will be a 8.5" barrel with a can.

Supposed to be but pull a bullet out of Wolf ammo and report back. Most bullets that you can buy for the AK are .309.5-.310.5

I need to try those. I have a bunch but just not loaded any up yet.

I opened up my feed ramps a bit and polished them. I run them through a 10.5" barrel and the group pretty damn good.

It sounds like the surplus has dried up then? That's disappointing because I was getting my hopes up to reload load 300 BLK dirt cheap to run it hard.
