7.62x39 chicken load

[Pioneer2]

I loaded some CanPro .32 ACP [.311] -71gr plated bullets in PPU brass with a Fed large primer under 3.5gr of Bullseye.At the range today out of my CZ527 carbine dime sized or less groups at 20 yards 3.5" above the bullseye.Velocity unknown at this time.

That will work good.
I use buck shot swedged down to fit whatever caliber I need and as you are doing, a few grains of a fast shotgun/pistol powder.
Fired 20 rounds of it in 30.06 one time then regular hunting rounds to confirm grouping.
It had no affect on hunting load accuracy.

I tried to do this with handmade lead loads, made it to short to cycle.

I never worried about how they feed.
For grouse and ptamigan I just feed them one at a time directly into the chamber.

Feed just fine from the magazine.

308 chicken loads. 30 cal round ball, with Trail Boss. MV 1000 FPS. I can put 5 into a dime at 20 yards. Rounds shoot almost dead on point of aim to 20 yards. Quiet, sort of like a cap gun, and work good for head shooting grouse while hunting big game.

[Pioneer2]

At 951fps

The cast lead I tried made the round to short.

Successfully used the Lee 93gr cast bullet for the Tokarev pistol..........no gas check.

I think why it didn't work for me the cast bullets are to blunt as to tapered.
