7.62x39 reload advice.

I have loaded thousands of steel cases and have nevercrimped them. A 310 or 311 bullet fits in those so tight there's just no need I don't believe. It looks like you did OK.

Well the bullets were fairly easily moveable by hand after loading them into these particular cases. I've only loaded my brass cases up to this point, which yes agreed, they required little if any crimping because they were so tight already. The only reason I even attempted these was was that they are boxer primed and I didn't have to do anything different.

Love me some nickel plated 762 cases!
