The SKS is designed to fire the 7.62x39mm cartridge, not the 7.62x54mmR. Attempting to shoot 7.62x54R ammunition from an SKS could cause serious damage to the rifle and pose significant safety risks to the shooter. It's crucial to use only the appropriate ammunition specified for the firearm to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Will a sks shoot a 7.62 x 51 bullet?

No. The SKS fires a 7.62x39 cartridge, but actually uses a .311 bullet. The 7.62 x51 is too long for the SKS action, the chamber of a SKS is too short for the cartridge, the power of the 51 is too high for the SKS action, and the bullet of the 7.62x51 is actually .308, not .311. Does not match up in any way.
