Thread: 7.62x39 reloading.

Please work up at least 3 grains below that.

Nice, Thanks @huntsika for that one. Any idea of the velocity? It looks like Serious Scooters has Reloader 7 by the pound! Gets some good velocity in 22 inch barrels by the look of the data. Has anyone tried Vihtavuori N120? Oops, mistake in my first post, it is from Serious Shooters. Great velocity claim from a short 16 inch barrel, nearly 2500fps.
