lemski4 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Does any one have any start load data for the 7.62x39 using 22 cal sabots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiris Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 lemski4, This is about all that I could find on Ammoguide.com. I'll keep looking. I know I've seen other loads from 3000-3400fps with faster powders. Spiris 55gr Reloader-7 Charge 28.0gr Compressed Velocity 2768 Ftlbs. 936 BBL. (in.) 22.0 COL 2.100 Load submitted by 'roadrn1'. This load was developed using Hornady full metal jacket bullets (w/sabot). The developer notes this charge is COMPRESSED in the case. The velocity measurement is by chronograph. Winchester cases and Winchester Lg Rifle primers were used in development. COMMENTS: with sabot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Hess Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 55 gr sounds like an awful lot ofr a 7.62 x 39. I'm using like 27 gr of H335, I think, with a cast boolit. I don't see how I could almost double the charge and have it fit in the case. In fact, I know if I tried to double the charge, it would overfill and make a big mess. I don't see other powders being that much more dense to allow that to happen either. Just thinkin' outloud here. Lemme know what your accuracy results are with those sabots. What kind of sabot/price per each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemski4 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Will do but first I need to finish the rifle, action is barreled but still need to D&T action, do bolt handle, and figure out what kinda safety i want to use, and hang a trigger on it.
