Is the Ruger 77 MKII chambered in 7.62x39 a .308 groove or is it .311? I get a bit confused when talking about groove and bore diameter, but I think it's the groove diameter that determines the bullet diameter. I think I remember the Ruger is for .308 bullets.

If it's the same as the ones shipped to OZ, then it's a 308... Cheers, Dave. Aut Inveniam Viam aut Faciam. | |||

I have an original test report from an Australian magazine ... I'll check it out, but remember twist was given as a fast 1:10". Cheers... Con | |||

The early Ruger Mini-30s had .308 bores. That did not last long, but the rumors have. It is a good citizen's duty to love the country and hate the gubmint. | |||

Not much help, but the test report on the 7.62x39 cartridge using a Ruger MkII stainless/synthetic stated that fired cases from the Ruger MkII would not accept a 0.310" projectile but would allow a 0.308" projectile to slip into the case. There is also reference to the Ruger's "tight-bore" suggesting its 0.308". Hazy memory tells me that Clymer produced and had available a hybrid reamer than allowed 0.311" projectiles to be used in 0.308" bores and that Ruger may have used that chambering? Tested with ex-mil ammunition the Ruger MKII did fine, less successful where the Mini-14's where extractor damage was noted with some brands of ex-mil. The term "rubber micrometer" is used to describe manufactured 7.62x39 ammunition and its variations. Cheers... Con | |||

That must have been the variant I had... Made (IIRC) around '96? Cheers, Dave. Aut Inveniam Viam aut Faciam. | |||
