311359 in the 7.62x39

[Flash]

Anyone use this bullet with Unique? I am going to start at 8 grains but was wondering what anyone else tried.

Since no one replied I'll put in a opinion....
I use the C.E. Harris 160 from Lee mostly in my SKS.
With Unique, I run about 4 gr. and cycle
each one in by hand, no gas check, cheep shoot'n..
I like 2400 or 1680, it starts running semi and about 14 gr with the Harris 160 gr --(thought help on this board) but have not got the Patten I'd like yet..
I 'm sorry but I haven't worked with 120 gr lead more then  a little plinking at about 4 gr of Unique ...fun - low noise shoot'n
I have a 311465 122 gr mold,, so I would like to hear how thing are working with your SKS....
 
I think that a SKS is a good cast bullet gun   --if you don't shoot it as fast as it can  to empty the magazine -------  slow down and have fun              DAN

You can always remove the piston. That way you wont have it ''half-cycle'' on you if you have been working on the boundary of ''cycle/no cycle.''

Be careful with those light bullets in the 7.62x39. I shot some of those for a while with light loads of Unique and ended up having the case shoulders set back far enough for them to not fire. I had to switch to a slower powder, IMR 4227, and granular filler to keep the pressure up. And I got better accuracy as well.

It's performing fine with 8 grains of Unique. It's a single shot, not a semi automatic
