I picked up the 7.62x39 and I'm looking forward to working up some loads for it. It does slug out to .308. What bullets have you folks had luck with? Was thinking of the Hornady Vmax 110gr .308 and berrys plated 110gr .308(for some light Trail boss loads) to start with. Might try some Hornady SJ (short jacket) in .308 as well, haven't decided.
I have plenty of brass, Primers, Accurate 1680, and IMR Trail Boss powder to play with. Plus my Lee dies came with a .308 sizer for 7.62x39.
Is there any other tips or tricks you folks can share?
As a side note, the 7.62x39 barrel fits perfectly onto my 22/12ga frame and vise versa.
