7.62X39 is a pitiful poor deer round, Whether it will kill or not isn't the question, it is just so many far superior rounds available why use it?
You do realize that at any range over 50yds a 7.62x39 is MORE powerful than a 30-30 and we all know what a poor deer round that is
I've heard that the Wolf SP stuff is a bit frangible for hogs but probably OK for deer. I handload my own, using Hornady 123gr SP for deer and Sierra 125gr for hog.How about ammo? What is your choice?
What makes ya think so?
For ammo use Wolf's 154grn SP. GOOD STUFF
but the AK47 is no hunting rifle.
If I was to hunt with a 7.62X39 I would use a premium ammo and of course hit vital areas.
I was attempting to be nice, if not I would have given my true thoughts on people that would hunt a big game animal an AK.wouldn't you want to hit the vitals no matter what caliber you are using?
It has nothing to do with the action type. The goal would be to shoot once and only once.just my take...... if you NEED a semi-auto to kill a deer(or anything larger)... you shouldn't be hunting. There's a big difference between hunting and killing. But I am probably biased because in Pa, semi-autos are not allowed. Make the first shot count.
