So, I re did everything to make sure I wasnt making a mistake and......everything measured out. So, I loaded 5 rounds before I decided to stop and ask yall if I am doing anything wrong. I am using 123gr Hornady 7.62X39 bullets. Is this normal? I miced some factory rounds and it all adds up except that when I shake a factory load, I can hear the powder, when I shake mine, you cant. I am using an old tin of H4895. Is that my problem? My buddy told me that they have re-designed the powder to be more accomidating. Is that true? I dont want to blow up my SKS.
what bullet are you using?
