Re: Your reloading cost on 7.62x39?
Locally,american softpoint or hollow point hunting20 rounds ammo sells for $20-30 dollars Canadian and a pack of surplus 20 rounds for just over 5 dollars Canadian... Russian Barnaul soft point20 rounds hunting ammo 13dollars Canadian . even casting my own lead/cast for B.P./RIFLES And pistols
I would not waste money on brass or powder when surplus ammo is so cheap.

My Cost as it stands.
Brass. R4

Lead cast bullet with powder coat.R 0.30c without gas check
Self made check R0.10c
Primer S&B LR R0.50
First load with new brass and GC bullet R5.53
Subsequent loads only R1.53
With steel cases(free) and berdan primers. Same cast bullet. R1.50. and with this I don't mind loosing the "brass"
This load shoots about 5'' @100m with the stock Type 56 sights. will try to get it better
