I have heard that Hornady will if there is enough demand. It would be nice if it is as good as the first run.Nice. Wish they would start making brass again.

Didn't realize there was a limit on the number of entries. Not bad choices considering the limit.Guess I could have dropped 6mm ARC for one of those ... oh well.
You should try mine. IMO: 7.62x39 is for supersonic. 7.62x35 (300blk) is for subsonic.7.62x39 is for AKs not ARs
Can’t see those worlds colliding in my safe
Good point!You should try mine. IMO: 7.62x39 is for supersonic. 7.62x35 (300blk) is for subsonic.
But, hey, I've also got a 9x39 AR15 pistol - and no way does that make anyone's Top 10, although it's a real blast shooting heavy .366" bullets at subsonic velocities.
No reason except money. You can actually buy 9x39 barrels and dies, e.g. from KAK Industries. Sometimes they have brass, too, although I've made most of mine from Starline Grendel Basic (straightwall) brass. Some people have made their brass by fire forming 7.62x39, often with cheap Makarov bullets, although that's a bit tricky since, in addition to being less tapered, 9x39 also has the shoulder moved forward.An intriguing caliber .
Since it will be a Handloading caliber anyways , is their a reason you couldn't build a " 9.2" x 39 , using a .358 bbl ?
Just avoid shooting in while sitting in your car on a hot summer's day... wearing OP shorties.The rounds that I probably shoot the most in my favorite AR are 5.7x28, followed by 300BLK, and .22LR.
I've got a bunch of 20 and 26 round 6.5 Grendel Duramags, and a single 10 round Duramag for the range. These all work great for both 6.5 Grendel and 9x39mm.My biggest issue is availability of mags and cartridges. I always liked the 6.8 but it just looked like everyone wanted it to be a dead cartridge. The 6.5 Grendel looks great except mags seem to be limited to 7 rounds. The 300BO appeals to me but only with 10-12 in. barrels. The one I'm leaning towards is the 458 Socom. It will be a great round in the forest when night seems to make Bigfoots hostile. Big slugs are exciting. *Freudian*
We like the 7.62x39. But our AR15 16" Full Build is designed for 556/223.Which AR15 caliber do you prefer? I really like 6.5 Grendel. I think it is a great all-purpose round. If I were an avid hunter I might be tempted to say 350 Legend instead. 5.56 NATO is great and provides long barrel life. But there are other offerings that I believe are more capable.
