Hornady SST in an SKS?

[dean1818]

I was wondering what success forum members have had with the SST in a 7.62 X 39?

I am thinking of using it for these mean old Texas hogs and maybe for the deer (or the small things they call deer down here)

Thoughts?

Successes?

x39

I have not shot the Hornady SST x39 load (its 125 gr as I recall). But.......I think it would be head and shoulders above the import hollowpoint stuff on game. The comparison of the x39 to .30-30 seems apt to me and I can't imagine a hog or small whitetail surviving a well placed round.

Bamaboy and myself have killed deer with the x39 in a Ruger 77 and a Mini-30 w/ no problems using W-W 125 SP or a reload using a now discontinued 135 gr SP (the pity).

Thanks

I am still looking for direct feedback..... I may be the only one shooting it
