airdale, Have you ever seen or heard of any bulk 7.62x39 bullets for sale anywhere? I've found other calibers in the past that have been pulled from the case and sold as "pulled" with slight blemish marks on the sides of the bullets, but have yet to find any in 7.62x39.

Well before things went all to crap on reloading supplies you could buy just about any mfg. .310 dia. bullet in 500 or 1000 bulk. I bought 1000 Hornady FMJ's and SP's in .310

They reject whole lots for the silliest little reasons.  I couldn't find a thing wrong with mine.  I got them from the factory.

I've had good results with Lapua 123 grn .311 FMJs

As well as these Berry 110 grn .311 RN FMJs as plinkers in my SKS. (Won't feed in my x39 AR or AK.)

Look through "Reloading" on these pages.  There are several favorite "recipes" listed.  Just remember, there is no "magic recipe."  Each gun is different.  What works best in one will not always work best in another.  Developing that "magic load" for your rifle is half the fun of reloading.  That being said, the Soviets developed what is the best all-around load for the SKS.  Getting as close as possible to that load will usually result in the best accuracy for your rifle.  The load I developed for my Yugo that works best is Sierra 125's over 30.6 gr.s of BL-C2 with CCI primers.  My gun likes .311 bullets in the 123 to 125 grain weight.  The .310 diameters and the heavier bullets have resulted in really poor accuracy, no matter how many different powders and loads I have tried.

Very good list, Airdale.

Since we're dredging this up, note that Hornaday now offers their "Z-Max" bullet in x39 for reloading:
