You can use the .3105 bullets from the 7.62x39 in a .311 or .312 bore chambering. Just be sure to get good neck tension in the brass.

My AK and SKS mike at .311 and .312. .311 bullets are just fine; I haven't ever encountered pressure problems, even going over maximum manual loads. These cartidges have a good deal of headroom in the loading department. Fear not, they are Russian designs and built to take it.
