Do not use factory or surplus rounds. hand load only for this round

I have talked to some people that want to get this barrel so they can use the cheap mil surplus. that is why I said not to use them. and the 7.62x39 in the factory loading (and most of the loads listed in reloading books) are too hot for the contender. in an encore with the .310 bore would be a fun round
