    Ar 15 7.62x39 with cast data.

    Im looking at an Radical arms Ar in 7.62x39mm. Found one for 500.00 new. I have ammo i loaded with 123 grain plated bullets. 9 grains of unique. Would it cycle with that load? Im sick of waiting for a bolt action to come in stock. I don't want a AK because of no rail to mount a scope. Thanks Al.

    I dont think that load will have enough oomph to cycle. I had an AR 7.62x39 .308"/10" twist for a short time( too heavy) and it shot very well with the C309150F and 25grs of 3031.
    I wish that my .300BO was a 10" twist- I'd shoot it a lot more!
    I predict success for yours- it'll outshoot the SKS/AK / Mini 30 guns by quite a bit.

    If it wont cycle. Will it harm the gun running it by cycling the charging handle to use it? I don't know a lot about AR'S. The platted bullets are rated up to 2000 FPS. They are Berry's. I just ordered a 1000 more.
