7.62x39

I recently purchased a Lee 7.62x39 reloading die, I am wondering why they gave two depriming pins that are the same size .310 and they are not opening the mouth of the case enough for me to seat the bullet. I put my mic on the bullet and the bullet size is .312.

Lots of load data out there for the 7.62x39 with several bullet weights and powders.

What do you plan to do with this 150gr load? Hunting deer sized game with this round requires a bullet that will expand and penetrate at these slower (2100-2200fps) velocities. That puts you in the 30-30 class bullet like the 150gr Hornady RN, 150gr 30-30 Rem Core-Lokt RN, Speer 130 and 150gr 30-30 FN or rapid expanding bullets like the Nosler BT.
