Thread: 7.62x39 reloading.

yip 2206 works great in the x39mm...from memory the case is plurry near full with 123 -150grn pills
my go to powder in .223
now use the lilgun in x39mm as the .410 has gone north for my great nephew to use and the lilgun seems to be giving me good results with a bit more room left in case Vs the 2206 so you COULD have tootoo and try to make it hotter , not my cuppa tea,happy with the loads I use and the deer don't like them one bit.bang flop yum

thats good ive got 2206h and lil gun and 2209 and some win 748 where did you find data for lil gun ive only found it for cast bullets ill probably try 125gn bullets or there abouts

Will send you a P.M.Dude

I've got some 125g Noslers and SMK's you can play with Duncan. I use 2205 in the 300BLK but also have 2206h for the 223. Some Nosler 168's too if you wanna play with those useless in the 300. Going to 110 Barnes tac-x and SMK's as the grouping is half the size of the 125's.

P.

cheers guys

I'm struggling to build up brass - my sks puts them into orbit! I think one of them might be to blame for that rogue Japanese satellite thats been hit by something.

Maybe the aurora SR-91 is one of your empties??



My SKS put cases into orbit also.. Only ever re-capped military chi-com with soft points as you mostly lost the brass. Still killed my first deer with one...

don't want to sell some 125gain samples to other 300aac fans to try out? Or swap for some 130grain speer HPs.

I am addicted to trying out projectiles...

Me Too 300 Calman happy to help out... drop me a PM with ya wish list although I'm tending to for my need be looking towards the 110 end. How'd the 130'sgo for you???
Also have a handful of 196gr Subs by Le High left out of my packet. Now they be some fun... Might have to keep a couple aside for Duncan.

LOL!!!

I'm using 2207 in my PPU brass. its OK. Not that fast, 2160 fps from the suppressed mini 30. Max recommended load (forget the grain weight off the top of my head but max on the ADI data sheet). 123 gr Hdy interlock, crimped. Not sure how happy I am with them yet, but they dropped a few feral sheep with neck shots the other day. Generally shooting around MOA which isn't too bad from a semi with a 3-9 duplex. I also have some 2206H for my 308win but haven't used it in x 39 yet. Could probably go hotter but havent put any time into it.

I got new gas bushings turned up at a precision engineering place in town to save the brass. Mini 30 was throwing them into the scope tube and off yonder... denting them etc. Now they are generally found a couple of metres forward at 2 O clock.
