7.62 x 39 caliber?
« on: December 13, 2006, 10:17:39 PM »
What is the bore diameter of the 7.62 x 39 handis?  Specificly should I shoot the Russian surplus ammo through it?  I have heard there are problems with this with several brands of rifles due to the Russian surplus ammo being larger in diameter than US ammo.  Search won't work for me.

I have been trying to do some research on the little Russian and have come up with a few interesting links for reloading the little Russian that I though anyone that owned on in a Handi might find useful.

Just thought I would post this, as sometimes it's hard to come up with a little more reloading info for the 7.62x39 beyond the SKS or AK.
