Thread: Which is the best 7.62x39 Hunting ammo

the hornady SSTs work very very well on large wallabies...so should be great on goats/fallow
we havent found a round that the bakail didnt like and it too will handle .308 dia reloads ok.
the steel cased hornady would be a good place to start.
so far Ive killed deer with it using
150grn silvertip reloads
125grn 30/30 sierra reloads
125grn nosler ballistic tips
150grn old school coreloct reloads

all went down quick smartly

interesting......

Was there not any problems using a slightly smaller 308 cal bullet down a 311 barrel?

this cartridge is "ethically" only a 150yard maximum range proposition on deer so any group under 3" is good enough. my teenage son was consistantly under 3" with a 4x scope
the above deer were all shot at below 50 yards range...bush stalking range.
so not in my opinion is that an issue.
