I have some new Winchester 7.62x39 brass and finally got all the Lee reloading dies I need to reload the ammo. I loaded 20 rounds using 150 gr. FMJ/BT Hornady bullets and test shot them today.
The Hornady manual says that the OAL is 2.200 for that round and I got it to 2.210 but could not get it any lower. The rounds still shot OK so I tried to load some hunting rounds with Hornady 150 gr. SST bullets but could not get them lower than 2.260. I also tried Hornady 150 gr. GMX bullets with the same result.
I'll call Lee Monday morning about it.
