Well Known Nuisance
We'll see how good the SD round does, hopefully! Zeroed the rifle with 123gr fmj. Had misplaced the ammo on range day. Thinking that it should be close enough for hunting. We'll see

Are they going thru or stopping??Interested to see the terminal performance. I have a good load with the 123 SST but have only used it on hog head shot so far. Just ordered some of the Cavity Back MKZ 125s to work up a load for whitetail.
Lol, I understood about half of that but sounds good! Accuracy is better to me than magnum power!!Got the Cavity Back Bullets in and ran a velocity test with my RAR. Got to book max for SW BLK at 2447 fps with no significant pressure signs. Going to do a mini OCW around max for accuracy. The group of 10 shots at .5gr increments was only a little over inch so there may be an easy node to find.
Lol. I guess I should throw a few bucks in the acronym jar. The RAR in 7.62x39 is the least expensive and most fun rifle I own. I don't know why I don't hunt with it more.Lol, I understood about half of that but sounds good! Accuracy is better to me than magnum power!!
Great shooting. I'm in a house right now trying to get one.Lol. I guess I should throw a few bucks in the acronym jar. The RAR in 7.62x39 is the least expensive and most fun rifle I own. I don't know why I don't hunt with it more.
Running the 123 SST at 2587fps which has plenty of velocity (2014fps) and energy (1108 lb ft) at 200 yards and is very accurate. Plus it's super handy with the 16" barrel and very light at 7lbs scoped.
Why I have in my head that when I'm in thicker woods where a 100 yards is on the edge of the trees and I still think I need something good to 500 just in case is beyond me.

Crap, that's all I could find and bought locally. Powder is for my 10mm. Bought the cfe black for the x39. No reloading yet all stuff is packed. Need primers too lrp. Got dies and plenty of brass.That bullet should work good, I'd stay away from the sst or any polymer tip bullet if your wanting good energy release and pass through. The only polymer tip bullet I've had both and good luck with is the bonded bullets or the Barnes bullets. All the others seem to just blow apart inside. That's just been my experiences anyhow.
