154 Gr SP 7.62x39 Made by Wolf

Anyone know where I can get some of this in Canada? An internet search turns up only US sites. Anyone know anything about this ammo, is it SKS able or just a bolt gun hot load? Seems to me the perfect 7.62x39 deer round in closed country shots.

I had to load my own, and while they work ok you have to re-sight your rifle again if you want to fire surplus loads.

I used to buy it from ProLine Shooters in Calgary but I don't think they have had any in a long time.

I have seen a few different brands of soft point, but almost all close in price to .308 for a box of 20. The only other option i have seen is Tulaammo has a 124 grain soft point, though i haven't really seen any tests to show its expansion vs standard hunting bullets.

Ack that, looks like my next step is reloading. Unfortunating, the data I have collected so far does not recommend a 150 Grain for an SKS as it will not feed properly unless pushed deeply into the cartridge thus limiting powder charge.

Who told you that crap?I load Sierra .311/150gr with 21gr/IMR 4198 and they feed just fine as well as the most accurate.Hornady also published data for the 150gr bullet.RE#7 and Win 748 are great powders too........Harold

Whose brass do you use. My research says winchester is the best for 7.62x39 in terms of internal volume and Labua the worst.

Winchester.............I have data for 200gr subsonic loads as well but these will not likely cycle other than manually through a semi.If you want the Hornady 150gr data let me know..........Harold

Yes please for both. I am thinking about a bolt carbine as well.
