7.62x39 cast bullits

#1 Post by Alpha1 »

I got to meet dodgyrog to day nice guy.
After we got the important stuff sorted like a mug of tea each he showed me his set up very impressive.
I came away with some linotype and a couple boxs of 160grain lubed and gas checked .313 cast bullits for my 7.62x39.
I will give them a try and let you know how I get on.

I hope they work for you - it seems my reputation is on the line!
Glad you liked the tea - it was decaff. :D

De-caffeinated - no drugs in this household. Alcohol on the other hand might be found when the sun is over the yard arm. Unlike Dromia where and when the beer can appear earlier!

Ok I am shooting on Saturday going to give these pills a day out.
They actually weigh 150grains and they are .313 diameter. My bore groove diameter is .312 so they should be fine.
The powders I have available are Unique. Alliant 2400.Vitavouri N110 Adam/Rog/Joe anybody got any advice on loads before I wing it. There is very little info on re loading cast for this caliber.

Shiny brass!

Christel used to throw with a dipper to get close and then finish off by hand as she could never get on with a trickler, I on the other hand have always thought about motorising a trickler to make life easier. You can cut dippers down in size to reduce capacity or use a different sized one and they are great for getting very close to your finished load in one throw.

EDIT - You can always add three more pics in the next post.
