I'm reloading for all my pistols. For rifles I just have 1 caliber, and not necessary reloader-friendly 7.62x39
I posted awhile ago about reloading for caliber but still undecided if I need to go all the way..
Cheap ammo is plentiful and available everywhere. And it's plenty good for my AK47. Brass itself costs more than cheap ammo, powder is not available anywhere...
For caliber "unification" I have CZ 527 for hunting. This carbine is excellent and pretty accurate with Hornady plastic tip ammo. But I want to make my own. Potentially more accurate and for bragging rights
So.. Idea is pretty simple:
1. Get good bullets
2. Pull apart 50x cartridges (any brand really) while measuring charge
3. Use exact power charges by weight and new bullets.
This way I don't have to mess with brass and I can reuse powder. I can control charge and I can use good bullets and play with OAL
Opinions?
