I invested in some Boxer-primed brass for it even and a cheap set of dies.<br />The hard part is finding the right size 0.312" IIRC bullets.<br />It's also not easy to find the brass after you shot it, at least the SKS really launches that stuff on out there and I never get it all back.<br />Just as something to try (since you mentioned casting), you can cast ok 0.323" boolits and load them, especially if you use gas checks or a case filler.<br />I felt better knowing if I was stuck on a desert island with the stuff in my shop, I could make more ammo for the 7.62x39, but doing it is a chore even for someone who likes the casting and reloading hobbies.<br />Better to buy the steel-cased commie stuff even at what they're charging now-a-days.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11338275424057525500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-13323216394623373182020-12-19T17:31:15.929-05:002020-12-19T17:31:15.929-05:00If that were my nephew's only functioning fire...If that were my nephew's only functioning firearm and he was completely dry, that would be one thing.

I wanted one cause I love my mini 14, so how about spend 300$ for a thousand rds starline brass. After the cost of brass, it's now not to expensive load? Didn't do it because I already have 308. Would be nice to have infinite money, but nope.Marco the Labhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123976566727977243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-2275054769998012482020-12-19T09:37:31.717-05:002020-12-19T09:37:31.717-05:00The only reason I could see is if you have a domes...The only reason I could see is if you have a domestic gun chambered for it.
