So I have run across a few interesting things I am looking into. Was curious if anyone else has tried these. Granted these are both .308 options and I am not sure how nicely these will play
First off a Hornady interlock, 150g, kind of a very blunt round nose. I would have initially discounted these. however I bought some 123g PPU soft point round noses that fed well in my rifle, so these may work ok as well. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1010477433?pid=382697 per hornadys data this bullet is supposed to work in the 1800-2500fps range. so it should function properly in the AK's velocity range of around 2100fps at the muzzle. (the dedicated 7.62x39 sst bullet is rated for 1900-2500fps)
Secondly is the berrys .308 220g plated bullet. Was toying with the idea of building a subsonic load, just because I could. found this article from ultimate reloader on their workup. https://ultimatereloader.com/2020/03/31/subsonic-ak-berrys-220-grain-plated-bullets-starline-brass/
Anyone play with heavies or subsonics in their 7.62x39? I have 1680, 335, and h110, BL-c(2) to tinker with.
