Never mind all this measuring! Where can I get Lapua 7.62x39?

SSN, I'm in the process of doing the same thing. I just casted about 10lbs. of the 2Rs, and noticed they drop from the mould @ .3145". I'm going to size one batch at .314", and another at .312", and seat them over 11 grns of 2400. They'll be shot out of a Chinese and Russian SKS. I'll let you know how they shoot, please do the same when you shoot yours.am ordering the Lee 155-R2 die from Midway in the very near future and plan to try using 2400 for cast plinkers.
Just thought I'd add a bit to the thread. One of my coworkers has a CZ carbine and the Remington SP load is the only domestic 7.62x39 load his rifle shoots well. This contrast is somewhat puzzling, but again shows the need to try a variety of loads to see what your particular rifle likes.My guess it that the domestics inaccuracy stems from inconcinstities other than the bullet diameter. The absolute worst "groups' fired from my little CZ carbine was with remington 7.62x39 we're talking 10" at 100 yds. whatever you do don't try to hunt with this ammo if your rifle shoots it as badly as mine does.
