7.62 x 39 mm Loads needed with W 748
« on: January 10, 2009, 08:38:55 AM »
I can't find a load for my Ak's and sks's with 123 gr. soft points and I want to use W 748 because I have a lot of it, it is easy to reload and should be a good powder for this.  Does anyone have a good load/parameters for W 748 with the 123 gr. bullets in the 7.62 x 39mm?

If your data is available I'd like to know as much about the load as you know. i.e. velocities, oal, etc.

Thanks,

Bob

None of the reloading manuals I have (Hornady, Sierra, Speer, Lyman) show a load for the 7.62x39 in 123gr using W 748 and the Winchester powder online reload data center doesn't either.  Not sure where else to tell you to look, but maybe someone else here can help (assuming that W 748 is an appropriate powder).

***WARNING***
***The load shown in the post by RPzB is for the 7.62x54R, NOT the 7.62x39***

Hornady 7th edition does not show a load for the 7.62x39 in 123gr using W 748.

All the more reason why it is so important to verify loads against published data from multiple sources.  Of course in this instance, I doubt you could have gotten that much powder into the case, but...
