7.62x39

moonshine
I would like to learn more about this round. It seems to be a very inexpensive centerfire catridge and easy on the pocketbook for plinking. I can't think of any cheaper. What kind of range would it have coming out of an AR Style gun? How would it do on Texas hogs and varmits? Thanks

    I am looking for cheap 7.62x39 ammo. I tried J and G Sales but they want $117 after shipping. Is there a place where I can get a better deal or do I just have to wait until the next gun show?

    It works fine. In fact its the most accurate ammo I have found for one of my Mini 30. It will shoot 2 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards with iron sights.

    How well do the steel case ammo work in the Rugar mini 30
    any feed back will be helpful.


    There are multiple threads on this topic already if you do a search (including one recently in the past week).

    The answer is, it depends on the exact gun, and the exact type of ammo.

    *SOME* of the Mini-30s will shoot *SOME* of the steel cased ammo consistently.

    But many of the Mini-30s won't reliably detonate the harder military-type primers of Russian steel case ammo (like Wolf or the "Bears"). Supposedly the newer Wolf has slightly softer primers. . .that might help.

    Also, *IF* your gun has this problem, its possible to fix it by installing a stronger hammer spring.
