With Howa making the 7.62x39 in the mini series its pretty popular, 130gr Woodleighs at 2700fps is deadly medicine on fallow and reds out to moderate ranges.

2700 is fair honking along!!!
with the Howa mini I cannot see any difference in accuracy when using 308 bullets...
I used them in norinco bolt no worries.bakail I hope will be the same.the 130 GRN Speer HP is pretty ideal for this,I imagine Thier TNT would be even better.125grn nbt went well for me but seat almost too deep eg the very top of case mouth comes into narrower part of projectiles,just a smidgen to make it for norincos magazine.no such worries now as bakail is single break open. Just been cruising loading manuals to figure out a heavier load. 2206h and 2219 are just about identical charge weights in manual and are 1 GRN different from 125grn and 150 GRN both minimum and maximum..... So if I dropped another whole grain of powder I should be into 175 GRN area...
Not in hurry to load any up but I have both 170 and 180 GRN .308 projectiles on hand... If they are stable I see no reason not to use them in bush. Seating depth shouldn't be an issue in bakail,will see.
