I am going to start reloading for this new rifle and have a few questions. Most of my concern is with the bore size. Is there any one out there that is reloading for this same rifle that can lead me in the right direction. I have not even ordered dies yet since I am unsure of the bore. All info would be appreciated, including your best recipes.

Thank you, Matt.

Matt,
I had the same question so I contacted the ruger on line customer support, they stated the bore diameter on the new ruger hawkeye compact in 7.62x39 is .3000-.3015 and the groove diameter is .3100-.3115.
questions about rifles can be directed to phone number 603-865-2442.
note, havn't yet worked up a hunting load yet, but its fun to shoot.

thanx Bearden, that will put me in the right direction

Matt
