a probably dumb question, with PSA making an AR that shoots the 7.62 x 39 why are we reinventing the wheel again and again and again, practice ammo dirt cheap vs BO, Winchester and Hornady provide hunting ammunition, 303 caliber 125 grain pro hunter bullets are 4 cents a shot...I know the novelty and marketing makes the HAMR more desirable. I think Jeff was shooting pigs at a pretty good distance with a model 1 sales x39 if he still posts here maybe he could chime in.
