Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 7.62 x 39 and deer ?

I've got both the Cz and the Rem 799.

I really like these little rifles. Both are .311 bore. The Hornady load works fine in both. Privi, Tula, Wolfe, Winchester and several other euro loads work fine, as well.

I've taken 3 or 4 does with the 799, all bang/flop, of course they usally do, when shot in the head. The last was about 145 yards, right under the ear.
