I checked out the Reloaders area of the forum and my head started to spin.

I have an L42A1 and an L39. Trying to insure that I am using the appropriate ammo in these rifles. I have used South African Surplus 7.62 in the L42A1, but have yet to fire the L39.

Were these rifles set up to fire 144 grain bullets? If so, is the surplus 7.62 generally 147 grain?

I do reload, but I have searched for 144 grain projectiles with little success.

Should I continue to shoot the South African Surplus through these? I also see Palma bullets are 155gr.

I appreciate some direction as I don't want to harm these rifles. I want to enjoy them and shoot them worry free.

Thanks,

Brian
