Calum - are you there man?

[Proutfoo]

I got my primers...the right ones this time So all I need now is brass and bullets, (and suitable powder) and I am set to reload for my slamfire-in-waiting SKS

For the benefit of the rest of you, Calum was telling me I wanted to get CCI #41 primers for the day I would want to reload for my SKS I got the #41s only to find out they are small-rifle primers

In his defense, it seems there is such a thing as brass in 7.62x39 that has small-rifle pockets.

In any case, regardless of the brass I get, I will be ready


So, in summary:

#41 CCI primers are SMALL RIFLE PRIMERS (.223 and some odd 7.62x39...)
#34 CCI primers are LARGE RIFLE PRIMERS (7.62x51, and most of 7.62x39...)

Well done dude!

I finally found some myself last Thursday.

I had to drive to a place in Campbell River which is approx 226KM away, as the store I usually goto in Victoria 90km doesn't believe they exist. (They don't have the Internet)

The store I got them at only had 5 packs left...I bought them all.

Now I just need powder.

 

[Proutfoo]

what kind of bullets are you using? Are "7.62" bullets the correct ones for the SKS?

 

[Calum]

Yes they are 7.62 .310 dia <---
123 grain.

BTW The lee reloading data I'm using allows for up to 150 grain bullets.

[Calum]

Advertising?

and

http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115191&highlight=primers

where Calum convinced me to buy a box of small-rifle primers instead of large rifle primers

Now that you mention it, the backdrop is cool too

I think I have too much gun oil.

My Dad gave me a bunch for Christmas. I'm not even done my first bottle.

I have 4.

Does that mean you're giving away gun oil?

I don't own any 7.62x39 brass yet so I am not sure. I think that Remington has some that uses small rifle pockets.

anyone?

Bingo, it will depend on the brass maker.
