Which bullet for deer with the 7.62 Russian Short?
Some years back one the herd that roamed my parents' place had an encounter with a car that left her with a badly broken hip. I was down there for the weekend, and Dad wanted me to put her down. All I had with me was my short SKS carbine, and some Russian 123 grain soft points. I didn't have much confidence that those people knew how to make hunting bullets, but I tried one on some water-filled milk jugs and it expanded most impressively. Worked for the purpose that one time. I think you can still get them under the Red Army label.
