7.62x39 / 7.62x39mm Russian Cast Bullet Loads

Warning! Notes: All loads were safe in test rifles. Do not substitute jacketed bullets in any of the loadings. Dangerous pressures could result! Reduce initial loads from those shown in the table. If the OAL is changed, or if brass or primers are substituted for those shown, further reduce starting loads. All bullets were seated as far out of the cartridge cases as possible. In many instances, these bullets touch the rifling lands when a loaded cartridge is chambered. Due to slight variations in moulds, alloys, chambers, etc., the overall cartridge lengths may have to be altered from those shown in the table, otherwise a live, chambered round may "de-bullet" if the bolt must be opened for some reason. (Handloader Issue #177 - October, 1995)
