What most buy and shoot through an AK and then report that it shoots like a shotgun on the net 1000's of times. [beatdeadhorse][Coffee] So few load for it but it has to be one of the top 10 that one would see a result from handloading VS buying ammo. [Flower]Quote:

From what I have read, most guys who are running the .310s are not haveing any issues. Although some are haveing some chambering issues.
I would just like to get a small quantity to test before I go buy 1000.
For just to try the .310 let me know. I can send a few Hornaday that are .310. The Golden West were great bullets but they are no longer around.Quote:

The Vmax .310 bullets shoot very well out of my AK and 300bk.
After all this AK talk I would say that I myself had no problem trying the lighter bullets (123gr) that were up to .310 as long as they were all copper jacketed. If I were going to run the pulls I would want to slug the barrel and measure the thickness of the bi-metallic jacket.
I would hate to be cheap in the beginning only to wind up with a barrel that now wants only .310 bullets because once you wear through the copper it is steel on steel going down the pipe. Just a thought. [Beer]
I read quite a bit about others doing it and then gave it a try. Had a few chambering issues at first but after opening up the feed ramps it worked a lot better.Quote:

Although I did have to run them through a C&H .3085 bullet size die. They work excellent now. Still plenty accurate, but the pressures are much lower.
And running a copper/lead bullet through a sizing die works fine. I think some of the guys running the pulls are getting a spring-back from the bi metallic jackets IMO.Quote:

I think I will just do the m80 projectiles.
