    So .311 and .310 dia bullets cost more than .308. Also the bulk 7.62x 39 ammo I’ve found is going for.45c a round.

    Berry’s makes plated bullets but I want more velocity. And maybe I’m wrong but when I see corrosive primers I opt out.

    So I’m going with 125g .308 dia Speer. I tried fitting a Speer .308 dia 130hp in the muzzle and it bit the rifling.

    Well it seems I can save a few cents per round, I suspect the cheap ammo is fading into history.

    You have to shop around. americanreloadingDOTcom, everglades ammo and a few others carry the .311 bullets for a good price, when available. I'm debating what to do with the x39 components i have sitting here. iirc 300+ pcs of new brass, .311 bullets, dies etc. It's one of those do i off them, or keep. Instead of saying 6 months down the road. Should have kept that x399 stuff.
    But i still have unopened spam cans collecting dust.
