Reloading The 7.

62x39 Russian Rifle (Note: These are maximum loads, you should use 10% less to start.) (See note on Powders below or read all about various Powders.) Bullet is .311" diameter. (This is same dia. as British .303) This is the round shot in the AK-47, the SKS and several other good autos on the used military rifle scene. Some of the thousands of rounds of military ammo are STEEL cases and not suitable for reloading. To verify which is which, carry a small magnet and check whether the cases are brass or steel. If you buy steel, plan to discard them after use. Almost all military ammo uses the 123 grain FMJ bullet. There are loads for a 15 0 grain bullet, but this will not work in many of the autos. This would be best suited in something like the Ruger Bolt Action for this cartridge.
