I have had good luck on Javelina here in Arizona with my mini-30 in 7.62X39. I only use quality Federal soft point ammo. I have compared the Russian and Chezk stuff at the range and there is no comparison. There is also no comparison in price with Federalat the $10 for 20 and the imports at $3 to $5. However, I get to hunt pig once a year. I am not going to compromise my hunt for $5.

I used winchester soft point ammo to kill a doe last year. It was at 85 yards and she dropped in her tracks. The winchester ammo grouped well in my sks at the range but the remmington soft point ammo was worthless, could not get a decent grouping and in fact I could spin the bullet in the case with my fingers.

Well, if my gun smith doesn’t finish the work he’s doing soon on my Savage model 99, I may need to take my SKS carbine out for deer hunting. I’m a reasonable person, I know the limits of both the caliber and the gun. I’ll have to limit my shorts to shorter range than I would with my .308 and I’ll need to get better quality shots. Given that I do understand what the limits are and won’t try any marginal shots, what are the choices in Amercian made, hunting ammo in 7.62×39? p.s. No, I will not use the imported, "made to hunting specifications" ammo! — "The number of job openings for Philosopher-Kings is limited in the late 20th Century." – Dr. Megabyte Tuba Playing Technocrat in Winchester, VA KD4HRI Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/ To leave the Hunting listserv list, send a message with SIGNOFF HUNTING
