Default RE: Exact Diameter of Different Branded 7.62x39mm Ammo?

As far as I know all factory loaded ammo for the 7.62X39 uses a .310" bullet.

Some people that reload use standard .308" bullets and get acceptable accuracy but I don't reccomend shooting a bullet that is not the correct size for the bore of your gun. It is only .001" all the way around the bullet but that may lead to bullets canting while traveling down the barrel, gas blow by and other problems.
