    Saw RifleX Green at Shooting Stuff (SA made) that is equivalent to S321. Shooting Stuff also has once AK fired brass at R320 per 100. Questions is where to get 123gr bullets ....found most all to be around R 650 per 100. Seen at Camdix and Irene Arms

    iirc KZN Ammunition used to sell a .311 bullet for 7.62x39.

    I think surplus is still cheaper than reloading though.

    No, AK brass completely different to .308. Definitely won't work.

    NO.
    They are 2 different types and sizes of ammunition calibres.

    AK brass case size is 7.62x39.
    Bullets used are .311 calibre.

    .308 brass relates to 7.62x51mm size
    Bullets used are .30 calibre
