    7.62x39 Bullet weight

    Hi guys,

    Looking to reload for my Howa Mini 7.62x39. According to their website the twist rate is 1: 9.45.
    What would be the range of bullet weight it can handle?

    Looking at the cast lead projectiles by Robert from Putaruru/Tokoroa.

    308 151gr HP https://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hun...7d2e7d3566-001

    303 204gr HP https://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hun...7d2e7d3566-001

    Will try both subsonic and supersonic.

    Intention is to use for goats, deer and pigs in the bush.

    Thanks
