I have a Rossi 7.62x39 that I purchased a few years ago, thinking I could use it for a plinker and small game gun using my already onhand milsurp ammo. I have AKs, MAC90s & a WASR-10, so I had plenty of ammo. Well, I soon learned that you can't use MilSurp ammo in that rifle. I really haven't used it much since.
So, for you 7.62x39 single shot rifle owners: What are your expericience with commercial grade ammo? Do some work better than others? I understand there are problems with some brands having a slightly sunken in primer or other issues that cause primer detenation problems for the single-shot (non-floating firing pin) rifles. So, I want to avoid those!
I was hoping to reload some of the milsurp casing that I have, but they are Berdan primed. So, it looks like I need to go the commercial route. Was just wondering if some brands are better than others, for this seemingly persnickety rifle?
