Thread: larger deer with 7.62x39 & your loads

I will dig out the loads I used as lilgun is not a powder often used and had mate do the quickload thing for me.... ar2206 is just about a perfect powder for the wee cartridge,you could JUST ABOUT (well actually you could) fill case to base of neck and pop projectile on top of it..it is litterally impossible to overcharge the case with projectiles up to 150grns.try it some time and you will see what I mean.
