I just bought a akm47, which is new. I want to go to the range tomorrow if time permits and site it in. I bought bullets that are brass so I can reload them once I get set up. I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to find what dies to buy. There was a lot of discussions on the dies for the 6.5 cm here, but doesn't seem to be much on these dies that I can find in my quick search. I will send a lead sinker down the barrel to check the diameter of the bore like I did years ago on my 7.62x54. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated thank you.
