    Reloading Yugo M67 is it worth it?

    Ok, Juus getting into reloading to cuz i can't afford to buy .45 acp but was wondering about possibly starting to load 7.62x39 for my saiga.

    I know that 98% of the 7.62x39 ammo out there is steel cased but I picked up a bunch of Yugo M67 in nice beautiful brass cases. I've been collecting all my brass and have been thinking about reloading it.

    I know that it is berdan primed and found out it's not difficult to remove berdan primers with water and you can buy them for a good price at dagammo.com.
    My primary reason for wanting to reload this round is because I'm getting into hunting, so I'm looking for good hunting bullets in .311 (hornady makes .310 interlock, will that work?), is there a lead-free option in this bullet size?
    Since you don't actually USE much hunting ammo, another thing i was thinking about was for target ammo. Are there any cheap bullets that can be used for simple range use with this round? would it be worth it? No sense in wasting good brass. Any powder recommendations?

    for example when i priced out reloading in 9mm it didn't seem like it would save me much $$$ considering that I can buy reloads for $145/1000. The cheapest bullets i could find for 9mm were $0.04-05 for cast & $.07-08 for jacketed.

    I don't think it is boxer primered so it is not reloadable. That is a shame because it is very nice brass.

      It is nice that the berdan primers have resurfaced. You would be wise to stock up at least 5000 or so. You can either deprime them with water or you can make or buy a hand tool that will do it.

      For bullets, check out wideners.com

        False. You can reload berdan primed brass. Not as easy as boxer primed but still possible.

          thanks for the info guys! yeah i wish i woulda bought another case of M67 when i first got some a few months back. now it's jumped up at least $50 more per case + the shipping is just way too high. oh well, i think i'm gonna try reloading i guess and see how well it works.

          Is that the cheapest you can find .310 bullets? it works out to about $0.19-20 a bullet, i BOUGHT the Yugo M67 for $0.14 a round! i'm really kicking myself here...
          You guys think there may be another shipment of that stuff in the near future? I will DEFINITELY load up if so. Thank goodness everybody's scared of corrosive!!

            Word is that there may be more this year but like the past trends price will be higher. I just bit the bullet and ordered three crates last week.

              where'd u get it shipped for that cost? i consider it much better than the barnaul/wolf/tula stuff so i'll probably pick up another crate if i could get it for that price..

                Good to know. I guess I will be keeping it then.
