Please read the reloading pictorial I did prior to this one. In the next few days I am going to show how to trim and prep 7.62 x 39 cases. I will be refering to the previous pictu-mentry for reference.
Before I start, you must understand why we will start out trimming this brass to a uniformed sized. In the history of the AK-47, there have never been two rifles made with the same headspace. And I have found some serious diferentiations in the brass, and I mean up to 1/4 of an inch!!! WOW!!!
Also be aware that if you are loading for the AK-47, SKS or any of the foreign built bolt rifles in 7.62 x 39 you will need .310-.311 projectiles. If you are loading for the mini-30 or the Ruger Bolt action rifles, you will need 308 projectiles. DO NOT LOAD .310'S FOR THE AMERICAN MADE RIFLES. YOU RISK SERIOUS BODILY INJURY IF YOU FIRE .310S THROUGH THESE RIFLES.
Please stay tuned for the pictorial.
