    Default Reload Data 150 grain 7.62x39

    I've finally got all the bits together but am having some difficulty finding reloading data for Speer 150 grain, .311" diameter bullets in the 7.62x39 cartridge. Any help would be appreciated.
    BTW, these are for a CZ 527 bolt action rifle, not the usual semi-autos.
    Thanks.

    I had one of the CZ 7.62 x 39's a few years ago and never could get it to shoot to suit me. Maybe just my poor shooting. I would think that the 150 grain bullet would be a bit heavy for this cartridge and would stick with something lighter. It really does not have very much powder capacity.

    Have you checked the powder company websites? Hodgdon has several loads in their database:

    Alliant lists two loads for the Sierra 150 JP:

    A few years back I worked up a deer hunting load using R7 @ 25gr. topped with a 150gr SP. I tried a couple of different manf. for the heads and settled on one. Sitting here typing for the life of me I can't recall which one. I'll have to check my notes.
    YMMV
