Reloading notes from Grammaton76

7.62x39mm

Bullet Powder Type Powder Weight Recommend? Results
110gr Berry round nose Hodgdon H322 29.0gr YES Cycled SKS and AK just fine.
110gr Berry round nose IMR 4198 24.0gr BOLT ONLY Didn't cycle SKS in semi.
  • The Berry round-nose bullets have issues in feeding from an AK magazine. However, they seem to feed just fine with the SKS. At issue is that they're much shorter than the conventional pointy-tipped rounds, which results in major feed ramp issues.

6.8mm Remington SPC
