who hunts with 7.62 x 39 or the 6.5 Grendel?

[hoytcanon]

there is, but it's based off a modified .308 cartridge.

The 6mm PPC is based off the .220 Russian case, which is derived from the 7.62X39 case.

Not a recommendation of course, with my No.1 handloads definitely being on the warm side, but nothing like what this guy does -

Those pictures are the definition of "standing on it". Nice Ruger, but I am making a mental note to RUN from any of your rifles if I see them advertised in the EE!

Any gas cutting,pitting or etching occurring around the firing-pin hole on the bolt face from those shenanigans?

Jeezus! Those pictures are the definition of "standing on it". Nice Ruger, but I am making a mental note to RUN from any of your rifles if I see them advertised in the EE!

That's a pic he found on the 'net.

Whew! OK...roger that and apologies to Slamfire for my comments above, my reading comprehension was clearly lacking in this case. I'm wiping the egg off my face.

No problem.

It's a real strong action but that individual loading his .223 No.1 like that may not realize chamber pressure could be high enough to cause barrel yielding. He was loading 55gr bullets to 4000 fps!

I thought it was based off a .220 Russian made from the 7.62x39 parent brass?

indeed. I was looking at the 6mm BR.

With all the love for the Russian its surprising the 300 savage faded
Too bad because it's a great deer and black bear round

 

[Slamfire]

Is too bad. Overshadowed by the .308 which caused it to fade away into obscurity.

 

[mbogo3]

And the wildcat .308X1.5" is very close to the 7.62x39

 

[Mr. Friendly]

I want to see what a 7x39 ballistics would be like.

I want something with light recoil that can take moose!

Just shoot reduced loads in a 7-08 or .308 or .30/06... there are factory managed recoil loads available if you don't reload. My daughter shoots my 7mm WSM with 154 grain bullets pushed by 40.0 grains of H4895... a good deer load and very light recoil.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

well, I don't reload...but I would buy the Lee Loader kit in .308 Win.
