Gun:
2 year old WASR-10
Purpose:
Plinking
I'm fairly new to reloading so I if I'm missing something please let me know.
Reason for reloading the 7.62x39:
1. Cheaper than Tula and I just don't like shooting steel cases and bimetalic jacketed bullets.
2. I like reloading
3. I melted a piece of car weather striping to the dust cover so my cases don't get dinged up, this works very well.
What's you load for this specific bullet and OAL that still cycles the action? I ask for OAL because it sounds like these flat point bullets have feeding problems when loaded too short/long.
Ideally, I'd like a load that fills the case up enough to prevent a double charge but is on the lower end of the velocity range due to the 1900 FPS restriction due to plating. Probably asking for a lot here
These are the powders I'm looking at as they are more economical per shot but I if you have a cheap load please add that too. I got these powders from the various loading manuals I have.
