I’m trying to load 314299 for my sks. My concern is how deep I have to seat them to feed in the magazine. Do I run a pressure risk having so much lead seated in the case?

Hang on a second and I will link some articles for you to read. Quite entertaining and informative!

BTW, Junior Doughty (Junior1942) has a couple of articles on using LeveRevolution in the SKS with heavies; look for the sticky concerning Mr. Gibson's work and load data compilation. Not 2400, I know, not certain I would use 2400 in the SKS with heavies. Need more research!

Now for a direct answer to your question; I do indeed shoot 316299's from my Yugo SKS just fine using LeveRevolution. I seat the boolits to clear the front of the magazine (TAPCO) without any issues. I will try to find my data, hold on.
1.4 to 1.7 cc's of LeveRevolution in my Yugo SKS is the ticket using NOE 316299's; I powder coat some and use 45-45-10 on others. Figure out what works best in YOUR rifle, and have some fun!

What is the weight in grains of the 314299? I could run upstairs to my library, but chose not to. LOL. I cast the Lyman #311410 130 grain plain base boolit in my SKSs.
Be well.

Adam, weight is 205 grains, +/-. The 9 1/2 inch twist of the SKS is beneficial to the 'heavy for caliber' boolit.

I use a 195gn boolit in my JW105 Norinko (bolt action) with 23.5gn of 3031.
Hold Still Varmint; while I plugs Yer!
I am pretty certain that LeveRevolution is repackaged Reloder 12 because the burn rates are practically identical. That being said, what other powders would be suitable for heavies in the SKS? What about other cartridges?

LeveRevolution powder is not repackaged RL12. LeveRevolution is a special blend of powders to achieve the unique pressure curves it produces. Frankly, attempting to correlate it to RL12 based on burn rate chart positions is a fool's errand and inherently unsafe to do so.Originally Posted by Bloodman14

Mr. Gibson, not intending to state a fact, just an opinion based on charts. I do stand corrected, sir.
