Just a thought...

Somewhere back in the barn is a bit of Yugo M67 7.62x39mm ball ammo. Somewhat less than a pallet. This is generally considered to be the absolute top of the line in 30 Russian Short. Beautiful brass cases, annealed necks and non-corrosive primers. In addition, review indicate that the bullet will "violently" fragment upon contact with soft tissue causing massive wounds. A bit of playing around with it indicates that the statement is true. It is head and shoulders above any Russian Short I have ever shot. This is sure fire killer ammo.

While I have very little experience in shooting deer, it is my observation that they are pretty easy to kill. Last fall I shot one right in the chest in my back yard with a Silvertip out of a P35 and it did the predictable thing pretty quick.

I would not hesitate for a second to shoot a deer within 100 yards with this ammo. Please note it is FMJ so it may not past muster if you need soft points for the Fish and Game.

If you want I will send you a box.

Cheers,

Byron
