hunting ammo


Recommended Posts

My BIL (RIP) down in Mississippi took quite a few deer using his old $85.00 Mosin and the old Black Box Wolf ammo

He was a hell of a fine deer hunter. iirc the majority of his shots were 25-50 yards, occasionally out to 100, but he said he never had any problems using that gun/ammo combination. But that was over 15 years ago and I have no idea if the ammo is the same, but I would think it'd be serviceable.

Let us know how the hunt goes for you.

I picked up some a few years ago at Reloader's Bench when I loaned a Mosin to a friend.  I don't think a deer was ever taken with the rifle but my friend wound up using the rifle and ammo to dispatch 4 different horses and it did fine for that.  I recall the RB had a single offering for non FMJ ammo, it would be worth stopping in and asking since you are local.

7.62x54r has plenty of horsepower, so unless that's something really odd like a thin varmint type jacket in a 200gr bullet those should be fine.

It says "loaded in Russia" so I wouldn't be shocked if that's something the locals use for big game. I understand the caliber is popular there for that application.
