7.62x54r

[DSB OUTDOORS]

I've thought about doing this, but I'm affraid that long barrel would end up looking like a horseshoe. Long guns + horses + narrow treed trails = rifle that can shoot around corners.

You're testing me??? Because I'm drinking arnt you!!

It's a great round just have to find some soft nose lead tip for X-pansion!

Colorado law states the max round cound count for a rifle is 5 rounds. This means your magazine can NOT hold more than 4 rounds. It has to be 4 rounds in the mag and one in the chamber. If you are using the PSL you have to modify the mag / block it so no more than 4 rounds will fit!! There are some expanding rounds for hunting with th 7.62x54 I have a few. They are close to 30-06 round and I have taken a deer or two with them. I hope this helps

Correction, 5 round mag, 6 total.
