Default Reloading 7.62x39

Hear me out. I am looking at the Black Creek Bison, one of the few bolt actions available in 7.62 (also 5.56 and 300 blckt)
It looks like a good pack rifle and versatile. I want to go with a 7.62, ammo is cheap and widely available. Also reloading, wondering if one can improve the ballistics etc. The 300 blackout version looks intriguing, but it would be ammo availability and price, I am thinking
thoughts on reloading or the 7.62 as a shooting calibre (not out of an SKS etc)

thanks

I am just in the beginning stages of gathering components and dies for my 7.62x39 in a nice little cz 527. The Hornady dies come with both .308 and .310 resizing ball which got me looking into it a bit more, but ultimately if I had to choose between the 7.62 or a blackout I’d go with the blackout for the endless subsonic and regular load data. I’ll be watching this thread, dabbling with the idea of filling a doe tag with it if I can find a good load with a dependable bullet.
