It's my understanding that the SKS is a 3" to 4" MOA rifle with factory ammo. I reload and I'm just getting into reloading 7.62x39. I will be using either BL-C(2) or CFE-BLK powder with .311" 123/124 graing bullets. My range is a 25 yard range and it will be a little while before I can go out to 100 yards. What kind of accuracy should I expect with hand loaded ammo?
Thoughts...? Thanks for your input.

At 25 yards from a bench rest you should be able to make about a 1" group with factory ammo, so perhaps 0.3 to 0.6" hole with handloads.
Been toying with the idea of loading for my SKS and I am curious to see what kind of results you get.
Be sure to post your findings.
At 25 yards I doubt you will notice a difference between factory ammo and half decent hand loads.
