I have an SLR95. I have not shot it in 10 years. It can't be as bad as Yugos and FALs.
Why reload 7.62 X 39?

My 7.62x39 has a .308 bore, so I can use any bullet I want and I want to use 150g Nosler Ballistic Tips to hunt with. Can't buy those in a store.
Well... that and the accuracy thing.

I have shot .2moa with a Savage 99 in 6mmBR.
Lots of thins can be done.
I am sure that I could make an extremely accurate 7.62x39mm rifle.
But my SKS work would still be a waste of time.

Hard to disagree, and that is really what I was asking. Why reload for blasting/informal plinking in an SKS or AK etc. I suppose it could reduce group size some using good bullets.
I ordered 500 rounds of Silver Bear and 200 Rounds of Winchester for shooting in my AK I recently bought. I will answer my own question more thoroughly one of these days.
The posts here convinced me that reloading for it could probably reduce group size enough to make it worthwhile for shooting some groups at least, and maybe even plinking.

I keep a couple cases of whatever ammo is cheap at the time for blasting tin cans, but I load my own softpoints for accurate hunting ammo. I just love hog hunting with my SKS.

I wouldn't spend my hard earned free time reloading a rifle I wouldn't bother to clean in the first place. They are disposable high tolerance rifles meant for reliability and production volume. I think WOLF ammo can maintain the "minute of pumpkin" (hilarious btw) that the rifles are capable of for the same cost that you reload for.
