150 gr 7.62x39 in SKS

[coat4gun]

Does anyone have experience reloading 150 gr bullets in 7.62x39 for a Yugo SKS? I have read that the 150 gr bullets may not cycle the action and am wondering if anyone has found any loads that will work.

EDIT: Would a faster or slower powder be more likely to work?

No, but I have shot Wolf 154 sp in my Russian and they work fine. There is a fair amount of load info for the 150gr. Ref. Hodgdon, Alliant, Hornady to name a few.
