the 7.62x54R is capable of droping big game, but be aware of your choice of bullet, surplus FMJ rounds will perform very porly!!! please be an ethical hunter and select a round that will offer some expansion...
As mentioned you will need an expanding bullet but they are avaloable by several companies I think even wolf, it is also required by law
Yeah Wolf and Bear ammo's make soft point in 7.62x54R. You'd think with the popularity of the round, there would be some more choices (I've seen 7.62x39 hunting ammo so I know the bullets are out there lol).
shameless plug for a box of ammo. http://www.co-ar15.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36373
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
Check out the game regs online. Last time I looked mag limit for a semi-auto was 5 rounds, but none listed for a bolt gun (I was checking due to my owning an Enfield .303 10-shot bolt gun), but rules can change.
Get good soft-point hunting ammo of at least 150 grains bullet weight (more if possible) and put it in the right place, and you'll do fine.
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![]()
