Don't know if this is any help, (from an article I read) apparently original Soviet chamber specs are slightly larger than American that effects head space.

I also understand Mini 30 has a .308 groove and soviet ammo is .311

Yep thats correct on the .308 & .311. The U.S made ammo is too lose for the likes of the SKS & AK type rifles and probably the Baikal as well, and pretty tight the other way round.
