It's a mystery to me why no one offers 150 grain hunting loads aside from Tula. For a catridge like that that's never going to go very fast, you think people would try and cheat their bullets on the heavy side.
That's a big bullet for such a small case. I'm surprised that x39 can even be loaded that heavy.
I'd use the Federal now. In the day, Norma sold x39 for hunting with their 180 gr soft point. I wonder if that's still available.
Lots of folk used it and and SKS with a magazine block/low cap on Forts Bragg and Campbell. GREAT *brush gun* combo.
