Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Ruger No. 1A 7.62x39

Three deer this past season with our 7.62x39 No.1!

Great gun

Congrats! What bullets/loads?

I would think one of these would make a neat ( as in not everybody has one ) deer rifle for those of us that don't generally shoot at long ranges. Of course I regret not buying a 30-30 when I had the chance.

I'd buy one if I saw it. I always like the 7.62x39!

My friend has one in 357 mag and it's a lot of fun. I have a 77/357 that I love and we do a shoot off, one shot each, I call his target he calls mine and we keep going until one misses.

These mild yet capable cartridges are low recoiling which makes them fun to shoot which in the end results in a gun your actually practice with a lot and become very confident with.

Nosler has made a few prototype bullets for the 7.62x39, available here:

I bought 100, tried them and found they shot well. I just bought another 500.

Now if I can talk Forster into making dies for it...
