its a 7.62 x39 bullet in a cut down 223 rem case , theres enough room for a pistol powder to get a good subsonic round going and since its half the size of a 223 its lighter and can carry more ..... could probally go into a rimfire sized rifle like a 452/455 ....maybe even a pistol




its just a cute round to hold

if i had the lathe and mill to do so i would make a test barrel from a 7.62 barrel blank ...... not to mention make more than round .... and use more than an 7.62 seating die and a bolt to help push case up might be good to see how much powder i get into the case , my normal load is 16 grains out of an ak and 10 out of a 223 im sure i could get 10 grains in it and it will do a good enough for 50 -100 yards

Looks like the 7.62 Micro Whisper.
