Well I wanted to load some7. 62x39 for deer season, I've got plenty of brass thanks to loonwulf, but after a primer check I am down to about 150 large rifle primers. I've got a pound of cfe-blk and half a pound of bl-c-2, but I figured not to waste that either.
I picked up a box of brass case fmj boxer primed belom it's supposed to be ppu, sure looks like it. Only had enough money for 20 round box that day, 13.99 not to bad. I have about 90 speer 130 fn 308 bullets around so I figured why not just pull the fmj and use the speer bullets.
I pulled 5 to check the charge to my surprise they were all within a tenth of a grain charge weight. 24.8 grains checked my Lee diper set and with blc2 the powder in the belom looks very close. I tried about 10 scopes of the belom powder and they were right at 42.0, 1.6cc I figured that Will work.
I have to try these out and if they shoot good enough I'll try to get more of that ammo when I have the money.
