Has anybody seen or herd of doing an ackley version on the 7.62x39? or have a reamer for it?

I have a barrel in one for my competitor pistol. I played with it quite a bit, picked up a little velocity of course from the standard version with the same 16" barrel. Enough to be worth while? I dunno..... but sure is a neat looking case!

Do a search on BR.com. They call it a 30PPC. Shoots very well, but is finicky. The ones that play with it have gone to the longer version. I believe that is thew 6.8 brass.

I did not have much luck checking BR.com- Brazil website,I think. I have a Ruger M77 in 7.62x39 that I have thought of making into a AI but have been unable to find any info. I assume a potential problem is all the steel cased surplus ammo around which I assume would not fireform readily. If any one has info, please contact me. Thanks.

hiredgun,
You need to check further. Below is a link to a lot of info on it.

I have a steel case sitting beside me I fireformed. I'd send it to you if anyone knows if I can do it and not send both of us to jail.
I also have a ruger 77 in the standard 7.62x39. It's such a nifty little rig I dont think I'd bother imp it, with die cost ect involved.

.

Have mailed cases to many countries and even declared them as such. Haven't had any knocks on my door yet. roger

wouldn't that be pretty much the 300 black out cartridge?

Not even close.

I have a reamer and headspace gage for a 30 Turbo Imp. Believe it is a further development of the 6mm turbo. Don't think you could get more out of the x39/Grendel case than this. Haven't got around to chambering a barrel for it but have a mini Mauser waiting

.311 PPC

Some, but not all 7.62X39 barrels are .311. Some are .308. Years ago on my 7.62X39 Mini mauser I first chambered it 270X39AI. It was an excellent young person's deer rifle. Very accurate and will pile up a deer. It is now a 220 Russian. The 220 Russian is the Lapua brass that we make the 6mm ppc out of. In the old days when 220 brass was hard to get I necked down 7.62X39 brass and fireformed it to 6mmppc.
If you really want a 7.62X39AI, I would buy 220 russuian brass and fire form it with a case full of Bullseye and no bullet or COW. Seal the case neck with candle wax and fire. It is a very accurate cartridge. You are looking at 2900 fps with a 125 grain bullet. Probably more info on the accurateshooter.com forum.

Butch are you sure of 2900 fps?? roger

I'm sorry, 2900 with 112BR bullets. 2900+ in the 30BR.

Did anyone else notice this thread continues through a gap of nearly seven years?

bartsche posted 17 January 2010 then the next comment is posted 09 November 2016 and the conversation is still between the same people and it doesn't miss a beat!

I never did an improved version, but back in 2001 I made an AR-15 barrel in 338x39 for subsonic suppressed use.
