Thread: larger deer with 7.62x39 & your loads

TBH Rees I think its a bit light on for sambar. 150gr doing 2100fps is only about same as 30.30.

The 30.30 was the minimum permitted for many years in Vic and justifiably so. (Min 2" case rule)

But I think if you restrict your shots to say, 120 meters you will be ok. Given the nature of the bush where Sambar like to hang out it's unlikely that will be a problem for you.

A bit further for Reds. Say 150mtrs

You don't have access to a 270 or 308? Much better options.
