Okay...I've got two of these damn things, so I was wondering if there is any reloading equipment/components available for them. Might as well load up and shoot...
You can get that off RCBS website or any of the other manufacturers website for that matter.If I wanted to reload on my RCBS set up, what would I need to pick up as far as shell holders, die sets, etc? Anyone have any Part Numbers?
I know at one time I had some 7.62 x 39 dies and am clueless where they went. Yeah, been digging things out for retirement and I know the drill with the knees. Today I only have one rifle that uses the 7.62 X 39 round and that is an old SKS. On the bright side I likely have a few thousand rounds in assorted flavors, including some old brass stuff made by Winchester. Can't recall when I last even shot that rifle.Reloadron;
Fastest fingers in the Midwest, man.
When I was cleaning the gun room this last week ... I have a sturdy box that contains 1900 of the projectiles I ordered back in 2006. That bugger split on the bottom sending 7.62x39 bullets scattering across the concrete floor. I was on my hands and knees for 2 hours cussing at those little stubby things.
Looking at what I paid vs. what ammo and stuff is costing now, I'd like to make a public apology to my poor bullets that I gave such a verbal lashing to, if I offended them in ANY way let them not be angry and shoot crooked.
EDIT: Ok, it was more like a half hour on my knees. But if you had my knees, you'd understand why crawling on a concrete floor for any length of time feels like it takes 4x longer.
i use berdan primers and the steel cases. my aks dont ding em up and i get alot of loads out of em. casting with the new lee mold with 50/50 linotype lead gets my bullets pretty hard and they feed fine. crimps easy enough.
