basically a .30/30 case with faster taper they came out in the super sexy savage leveraction that had the rotary magazine so you could have splitzer type projectiles
they were/a .225???? sized pill
and back to 7.62x39mm getting a fast twist barrel is no harder than a fast twist .308 or ACC you simple poke 7.62x39 reemer in a .308 blank barrel any gunsmith worth his weight in doggy doohs can figure out the subtle bits.
reloading wont be an issue as Lee dies come with 2 expanders one of which is for .308 pills which is all I use anyway.

Yes you would want to avoid chicom/russian 7.62x39 in a .308 barrel the pressure could be nasty! I suppose you could re-barrel a Zastava or something and use a 20" barrel, 7.62 WAS designed for the SKS with a 20" barrel and gets about 200fps more over an AK and 300fps over 300 AAC with a 16" barrel (my experience). Lots of faffing round for me and it would be right handed
