Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Who else likes the 7.62x39?

I bought a Ruger ranch in 7.62x39 for a lite recoiling deer rifle and cheap practice ammo. Using once fired Norma brass, Winchester LR primers, Hornady 123gr. SP and 26.8 gr. RL 7 I was able to get a pretty decent group. Pretty sure it will work for deer out to two hundred yards. I've got a spare lower, thinking of getting a 7.62x39 upper.
