7.62x39 powder
« on: April 17, 2022, 03:34:36 PM »
 I am thinking about reloading 7.62x39.  Any recommendation of powder available on Oahu would be appreciated.  I have an Ar47 16" barrel.  I currently reload 5.56 and 7.62 and want o start reloading 7.62x39, but before I start I want to find out if power is available on Oahu.  Any tips on reloading this round?  I have billon 550 press.  Thanks

I’m going to start with CFE BLK. I did some searching and Projectiles aren’t easy to find for this round.

Agree I'm searching on line and reloading manuals.  I'm going to keep trying

I’ve used 1680 but had a pretty good supply of CFE Black. Have loaded mostly 123Vmax, Zmax and 123 FMJs all shot well though .
