Soviet Bloc and Chinese weapons have shown wide variances in groove diameter. It's not all that popular to actually do, but slugging the bore is the only way of ensuring that a given bullet is compatible with the rifle's bore. If you have an SKS or AK with a large bore, then .312 bullets may just be the thing. But, just as they can run on the large side, they can also run tight - and that is much more likely to result in big trouble.
