7.62x39 for Sambar

[mchughcb]

I just bought a 6.5 PRC and I'll be using it for Sambar, certainly a lot more gun than the 308 and leap frogs the 30-06 & 270 at longer ranges

Pffft. 300 prc is where it's at these days.

Not in a lightweight SA it aint, plus I dont need that level of recoil thanks.

Agree. Get closer to the game.

And who can reliably hit game 1st shot in the lungs/heart at extreme range anyway?

"The 212-grain ELD-X attained an average velocity of 2,905 fps when measured with a chronograph 10 feet from the muzzle, and the 225-grain Match ammunition averaged 2,841 fps"

When I go hunting, or occassionally to the range I want to enjoy the day. Not leave with a shoulder (which is already far from great) to ache for the next few days.
