Hunting Muleys with a 7.62x39

Recommended Posts

Why 150Gr??? That's gonna be a really hard one to find (if it even exists in .310") since it is a "Milsurp" round. I would stick with the 123's and maybe move to a Hornady Interlock SP.

 

Look at my post with the 150gr from Corbon. The big concern here is whether optimal ballistics can be achieved in a 16" barrel. The folks at Corbon are certainly not going to create a load using an incorrect diameter bullet.

Am I the only one who thinks this round is a little bit too small for mules? Definately not saying unethical or anything, just wondering if you put a decent, but not a great hit on a 200 pounder and it runs away how are you going to feel about your itch then?

Precisely why I asked the question Bobbyo. It is one of those borderline rounds. Shot placement is even more critical with a round like that. But I also believe that a not so great hit on a 200 pounder with a popular round could produce the same results. That is also why I don't take 400 or 500 yard shots. If I do use this rifle to hunt Muleys with, I will definitely need to be sure of my shot. Thanks for the input.

You sound like you know what needs to be done and I guess you are looking at using this gun as a challenge. I just believe in murphys law. First day you are going to see the trophy of a lifetime at 350 400 yards and your going to think why didn't I bring the magnum. Anyway good luck Murphys law might only apply to me.
