When I shot the 9.5 grain loads in the KS-47, they would shoot fine, but would not eject the spent shellcasings, and would not chamber the next round of ammunition. Since I couldn’t find load data for 7.62x39mm 220 grain plated bullets, I decided to *start* with the same powder charge, only, but substituted 7.62x39mm cases, and large rifle primers in place of the magnum small rifle primers used for 300 blackout.

I really wanted something that would work great in my PSA KS-47 8.5″ AR hybrid pistol chambered for 7.62x39mm. The first thing I sorted out was what rifles I’d be loading these subsonic loads for.
