Is there anything to gain from wildcatting the 7.63x39 down to a 22 cal. It sounds as though its been done but i have never heard much about it. Is it not all that?? The reason i am asking is that i picked up a bunch of it at the police firing range on sunday. It had my mind a spinning on what to do with it all. I am no big fan of the 7.62x39. To big and to slow for anything i might want to do with it. Lee
If you take that case to .22, you will end up with the .22ppc, or something so close as not to count for much. has also been shortened to a couple of versions. I may be biased, but if you are wanting something in this direction, I went to a 22br. a little more velocity, and if there is any difference in accuracy in a hunting rifle, it could not be much. My 22br is second only to a 6ppc br rifle in the accuracy department.
