Not a 7.62 but in my 300 Ham'r 150 gr to a 180 gr bullet on 17 gr of reloader 7 cycle good and excellent accuracy might be a starting place , and in a SKS I have had good results with 150 gr plated bullets and 21 gr. of reloader 7

With the Lee 155 gr. bullet 25 gr. Reloader 7 works well and also 15.5 of 2400. 15.5 of 2400 is 1703 FPS out of my gun.

At one time I had an MOA silhouette pistol chambered in 7.62x39. I used the RCBS 165 grain Silhouette cast bullet in it. I cannot recall the powder that I used. My brass was Lapua but at the time supposedly Remington had brass with a small primer pocket. I wish I had tried the Remington cases but despite that, the round was quite accurate.

If your rifle makes weight with a scope it could be a viable Production category match rifle.
