7.62 x 39

Hello guys, here again with another home brew review this time we're diving into the aks so this one here this is from zastava they are Serbian made aks, this is the Zpap 92 so we're talking an ak pistol 762x39. A fire breather if you ask me. A little overview of the gun what you get out of the...

Alright guys, time for a quick range report. This past weekend was fun, the range was full of new shooters and that’s a good thing, however it had a few range safety violations and the range safety masters were very busy but overall a great experience considering i had a bubba m44 mosin on my...

Hello guys & gals. I'm just getting into loading; & just bought my first AK. The AK is a GF3 Moekov from PalmettostateArmory. Customer service says the bore is .311". Hornady sells bullets that are .310". Excuse my ignorance; but can I do this? Lol. Can I buy some .310" Hornady 123gr SPs &...

So, I have some 160 grain .308 diameter bullets intended for reloading 30-30 but I don't actually have a .30-30. However, I do have an SKS. Would it be safe to load my 7.62x39 brass with these bullets assuming I can find load data for a bullet that heavy? I know it may not be ideal, but I really...

I'm looking to add something in 7.62 x 39 as a property "truck" rifle. I have narrowed the search down to either Ruger's Mini Thirty semi auto or the Ruger American bolt action. I am leaning towards the bolt action as my boys will be using it occasionally for vermin but the semi auto, if as...

Does anyone know why this was discontinued? Too hot? Looking at the reloading manuals I have, it seems difficult to match without going over max loads. It out classed most 30-30 loads except maybe the Leverevolution. I killed a couple deer with it out of my CZ527. The discontinuation of this...

I was wondering just when a previous soviet-era country would adopt the platform as it makes a lot of sense. One of the key advantages of the Ukrainian military going this route as mentioned in the article below is the fact they can utilize their large stockpiles of 7.62x39 ammo and as they...

Will an ak (7.62x39) with hollow points or soft nose perform comparible with fmj 5.56 and it's fragmentation, while providing more mass? Just currious as I had a discussion over the classic where does each caliber excel discussion yesterday. Also if you have any knowledge with SP or jhp 5.56...

HI all. My name is Terry and I am new to reloading and this forum. I am hoping someone here can help me out. I am reloading for my CZ 527. I have been using Lapua brass and Hornady sst, lead, and Lapua bullets. No troubles with the first two, but the Lapua has a slight movement in and out...
