    I did consider 300 BLK too but to get started I wanted to get into some low cost factory ammo, hence 7.62x39 before getting into reloading.
    I did wonder how much I'd actually shoot it (compared to .22 and air rifle where I put through a lot), so possibly factory 300 BLK ammo might be the way to go too and build up a stash of once fired brass.

    nothing wrong with subs out of the 7.62x39 except when you miss you have to say "ах дерьмо" instead of "ah shit"

    in regards to storing up brass I usually only load up between 20 and 30 at a time. the 151gr hollow points from shooternz will do the same thing at the same speed no matter whats sending them
    Iv already used them in 308 & 300blk
    I use trailboss as the powder to send them. If you had your own bag of projectiles and powder (and primers) Im sure someone would help you put some loads together till you set yourself up with a press
    tikka and Micky Duck like this.
