I've never used the x39 round for deer so I'm going to take the galil out this year and give it a go. I'm curious to see what loading people have tried and what you thought. I have wolf HP, ppu SP, and barnaul SP all in the ammo cabinet. They're all 122 or 123 grain.
Hornady SST work well with velocity between 2000-2500 fps. I find anything faster they break apart faster. So it's perfect for 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39mm velocity. I reload the sst bullets but you can buy Hornady Black 7.62x39mm with SST bullet.I've seen good success with Hornady. Great Sub 100y round
What PPU rounds do you have...I have several boxed of their round nose soft point (think 30-30 round nose). I don't think they make them anymore but they are awesome on deer.I've never used the x39 round for deer so I'm going to take the galil out this year and give it a go.
