7.62x39 anyone reloading for it??

[1006]

A few of the powders suitable for light weight 308 bullets (110-130) will work in the 223, 308, and 7.62x39. And, oddly enough, a bullet of about the same weight in either the 308 or 7.62x39 can use the same powder (not the same amount) in most cases.

Reloader#7, 4198, H-322 are some of the ones listed in my Hornady book. I use the same powders in 55 grain 223, 300 Blk, and 38-55.

As you move to heavy (150grain) 7.62x39, W748 and a few others are useable.

That’s some good stuff right there. Thanks man! That gives me a starting point. I have a Lyman manual and a Hornady book and didn’t see those overlaps. Seems like they change the powders used for calibers in different production years of the manuals. My Lyman manual doesn’t have any of the cfe powders in it but the Hornady one does.
