A friend and I snapped up No.1A rifles in 7.62x39 when on sale a couple years ago. He has shot his and says it may be the most fun to shoot No.1 he owns. The x39 proved very capable as a deer round when I had an SKS years ago and was interesting to handload for.
Odd matchup with the Ruger No.1 but why not!? I doubt I would shoot anything but good brass and game bullets in mine, avoiding most military ammo.
