My answer to the powder shortage ! A “308” that burns 30% less powder!
7.62x39

 

[Homerange]

Aren't they .311 ?

 

[joshb]

Aren't they .311 ?

Ah! Details, shmeetails!
I spent hours searching the web. “It” says 308 projectiles OK! Not Stellar, but pretty good. Hornady even shows them in their data. Besides, I’ve got 4K of 125s!

If you really wanted to save powder why not one of them Blackout things ?

I already own this thing and my Wife says I can’t buy anymore guns!

Harsh!
Edit to add: I'd send you dies, but don't have any, as I don't load for commie cartridges.

Oh, I’ll get my dies sent up. Thanks! It just ticks me off that I forgot them!
This my first gun in the Commie realm of cartridges. Probably my last, too, although I am half Lithuanian! It seems awfully close to looking like a 30 br. Let’s compare:
Well....maybe not that close....

7.62 x 39 are "Booked" at .310 . But like all Comm-Bloc weapons , will eat almost anything . .308 will work reasonably well in them . At least they do in my 1943 SKS .
