Hunting With 7.6 X 39

Hunting has become trendy, and for that, there are many hunting devices and gadgets that are inventing. In this article, you will learn hunting with a 7.62×39 size. 7.62×39 is good for deer hunting.

All you need to do is use the correct hunting cartridges and aim at around 200 meters and more with excellent ammo for hunting in the forest.

The 30-30 Win cartridge has been considered the best cartridge for many years. However, many modern hunters have switched from traditional screw-on rifles to semi-automatic firearms like the AR-15. With these rifles, 30-30 is no longer an option. I would guess that well over 90% of the bears killed in western NC over the decades have been killed with a 30-30. The cartridge is just too long, and the grooved housing is difficult to machine with AR. According to what Frontier wrote about it, it has a muzzle velocity of around 2390 fps, muzzle energy of 1559ft-ibs, and 924 ft-lbs at 200 yards. But is the 7.62×39 hunting cartridge suitable to reproduce the properties of the classic .30-30?

Let me say these two rounds don’t do that well. Ordinary hunters can shot 0.30 to 30 regardless of the 7.62 x 39 stats. On the other hand, many other snipers prefer 7.62×39. We’ll quickly see if 7.62×39 is for hunting. Although good hunting gear is much more than just measuring your energy, many hunters use their free legs as a measure of efficiency. 7.62 × 39 has enough energy to get your job done? Yes.

Typically, for most 7.62 x 39 loads, you should expect about 1450 to 1550 ft.-lbs. This is below the 2,800 ft-lbs (+/-) of the .308 Win but much closer to the 1,800-1900 ft-lbs seen on the .30-30 Win. Of course, every caliber is different, especially if you’re working alone. Generally, however, 0.30-30 has muzzle energy greater than 7.62 x 39. However, 7.62 x 39 tend to maintain more quality and energy in the lower range. This is partly because the .30-30 is usually loaded with flat or grain bullets, which are not ideal from a ballistic point of view. For photos of 80 meters and more, expect 7.62 x 39 to be the advantage. Some modern cartridges, like the Hornady, have a good Performance line, which compensates for the comparison by making .30-30 more attractive.

7.62 × 39 Range of Hunting Cartridges

There are more hunting cartridges for 7.62×39 cartridges on the market than you can imagine. Both Winchester and Federal (Fusion) make 123 soft tip cartridges for hunting, and many people report good results with them. Carbon carries a copper DPX 123 bullet with a 7.62×39 charge, which works well with the deer-sized game.

Hornady carries a 123-grain stainless steel polymer ball in a steel case (unfortunately, refilling is not easy). They have a nominal speed of 2,350 fps with a 20-inch test hole. The CMMG Mk47 mutant rifle allows you to measure these cartridges at 2,242 frames per second. Not bad for a 16-inch barrel. Also, did you like the caliber but not sure which weapon to choose for hunting? There are several bolt action rifles for this caliber, including the MiniAction rifle recently introduced by Howa. These rifles have an incredible value, especially the sight kits that contain the Nikko Stirling Panamax 3-9 × 40 optics.

With a lightweight 20 inch barrel, these rifles are very useful in the field. If you prefer a longer barrel, a standard 22-inch barrel is available. Howa also offers a version with a heavy 20-inch barrel. Most people will use a modern sport rifle for this caliber. SKS is a popular rifle for deer, although this rifle’s popularity is gradually declining with few rifles for sale and at higher prices than in the past. Unless you attach sports equipment to the gun, SKS is a little heavy with wooden furniture. This can be an important factor for you.

Now;

I’ve shot at least 6,000 rounds (surplus ammo) threw my SKS’s and never once had a slam fire; also, if you’re using FMJ, you’re more than likely using corrosive, surplus ammo; and that shit, in itself, is dirty as all hell. An AK weapon can make sense, although optics can be tricky to equip. Like SKS, they tend to be heavy. While some people assume the AK rifle is not accurate enough to hunt, they disagree. At 100 meters, most of these weapons are more than reasonably accurate. In my region of the world, a 100-meter shot at a deer or pig is very rare. It shows 50-60 diameter most of the time.

Keep in mind that hunting rules likely prohibit you from entering the forest with 30 magazine cartridges. So don’t forget to buy small-capacity magazines like these 5-round Bulgarian magazines. While this may seem a bit strange, the 7.62×39 hunting cartridges are better suited for hunting with AR-style weapons. Although the initial setup is a little more complex than some of the other gauges,

To redraw the AR standard .223 / 5.56, you will need a new cover, screw, and a new magazine. Fortunately, there are many. You can buy a collector’s pad with an advanced attacker. This will help ensure reliable ignition of heavy military primers. A heavier hammer bow will also help you. Some of you may assume that the 300 BLK chuck offers similar hunting performance without the need for a special screw, magazine, or hammer spring.

The bullet kept over 80% of its weight and was a perfect pedaled mushroom worthy of magazine ads. You would be correct. However, 300 BLK ammunition is also very expensive compared to the large 7.62 × 39 bullets. Although hunting bullets come at a tight price, the 7.62 × 39 training bullets are much cheaper than 300 BLK.

You can build a 7.62×39 AR for hunting. With a 1.5-4x 20 Leupold rifle scope; this rifle is ideal for shots up to 100 meters. The recoil is slightly greater than that of the NATO 5.56 rifle but significantly less than that of the bolt pistol. However, since it uses a significantly heavier bullet, the 7.62 x 39 has about 20% muzzle energy than all the 5.56mm NATO loads.

Best Ammunition for the 7.63 x 39

There is no better AK-47 (7.62 x 39), so we have to choose each category’s best. These:

Hunting/self-defense

Target
Plink

The federal energy shock

The 7.62x39mm cartridge fired from the AK-47 is ballistic ally very similar to the venerable 30-30. It has spawned many whitetails over the years. This makes it an excellent hunting cartridge, especially in the Soft Vision (SP) variants. When it comes to hunting, the Federal Power-Shok lines have muzzle energy, especially the 7.62x39mm SP version.

Hornady SST

For bipedal threats, you’ll love Hornady SST. Steel ammunition like AK is generally good, along with a modern polymer tip that helps maintain bullet mass, break the barrier, and expand into soft tissue.

The elements of shooting with Fiocchi

It would be a lie to say that 7.62×39 is the first or even fifth choice for precise target shooting, particularly AK shooting. Lower fabricating resilience brings about higher unwavering quality, however, lower precision.

However, you can still get good results with AK, especially over short distances. At the same time, you are searching for a precise shot, the FMJ Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics 7.62x39mm line, which is an excellent combination of reasonably priced and very robust ammunition.

White Winchester box

Finally, AK-47 has been thought out down to the smallest detail. The AK-47 is a horror on the battlefield, but it’s also scary when used against moss, logs, boxes, and old crates. Firstly, the Winchester White Box in a copper box is widely available and fair, probably the cheapest ammunition in the store, “Made in America”. It’s like being in a waffle shop.

Bear model: Brown Bear

Next, we got the Bear Mountains range of brown bears, a Russian-made stainless steel cartridge with a steel case, and a painted FMJ steel case. Completing the lake makes it a little more expensive, and you obviously can’t load it up, but it feeds and heals better than other steel boxes, even if it’s cheap enough to throw a shed on edge without crying.

Tulammo

We finally have good old Tula. Tulammo is made up almost entirely of polymer-coated bimetallic boxes, and the AK range is no different.
