I've got two of the Finnish Mosins (7.62x54R) that I would use to hunt. The others are just for show ... I imagine I would get the same results as your SKS but I don't have the cash to buy a new rifle (and I haven't decided which caliber I want next).I'll have to track down a good price on some of the Bear soft points. If I can't find any, though, is it illegal to use FMJ?
I used a 30-06 125 corelok on all the dogs while living in Idaho,all head shots I needed the money for the pelts,I will now use a 22 mag. I like to be real close,I would sit right in the sage bush,Magpies would come in ,soon as the magpie would flare I new what range the dog could see me.My closest shot 6inches off the end of my barrel,average shot was 20 feet.I just love and miss it,here on the wet side they are all close and quick shots

If I read that right I would sure love to hear that story. Getting them in close is realy fun, 6" away would be awsome. come on, tell me the story.

Thanks DemonTang. Just curious but what caller would you recommend that isn't really expensive? I figred i would just use the .270 cause i don't want the fur
I'm gonna jump in here as a newbie to 'yote hunting, too. I want to use milsurp rifles (cause that's what I got ) but do I have to buy soft point ammo or is FMJ alright?
