I have not found anything my SKS does not like
« on: September 17, 2004, 09:50:43 AM »
These must be the most forgiving firearm ever made. I reload mine with Hornady .310 123 gr bullets, but I have also loaded it with various .308 bullets.  The 125 gr Speer TNT's are excellent, also the 150 gr balistic tips. I have also had a lot of fun with 200 gr pointed cast bullets.  This was a special run mold from Lee and can be used with gas-checks.  I could probably go above 2000 fps with them, but I have more fun with 4.0 grs of Red Dot.  Great Back Yard Thumper loads, very quiet but plenty of knock-down power.
....make it count

Robert:  where do you get those 200 grainers??  I have played around with my AK actions, using 180 gn Sierra .311 softpoints over 12 gn of WW296 - they work my AK action but won't work my newer SKS - not enough poop I gather.  Anywho, from my longer barrelled AK they show stright on flight out to 50 yds - good backyard stuff but, that 200 gn load you mentioned sounds like fun.  Mikey.
