Are all norcs like that?

There are several (hundred) stories of Inuit hunters using .223 on polar bears, Russians using 7.62x54R to kill Russian brown bears (which are generally pretty big), and the good 'ol 30-30 has killed almost as many game in North America as 303 Brit. Niether one is a superior cartridge, in fact many people would say that 30-30 and 303 are absolute garbage, but the fact remains that they're some of the biggest killers of all time, NOT 7mmRM, NOT 300 WM, not even 30-06!! Ballistic numbers alone don't tell the whole story, there's nothing wrong with 7.62x39 as a hunting round and there's nothing wrong with the SKS as a hunting rifle, as long as you can shoot it accurately enough to make a clean & ethical kill. Drop a 7.62x39 SP in a moose's ribcage anywhere inside 200m and he's going down, whether he likes it or not :cool:
 
Your geographical location would play a factor as well, Like me for instance I get sent in the dirtiest cedar swamps you could imagine :rolleyes: So shots are well within 200 M.
 
Are you sure this rifle is brand new? It could be that someone put a reduced power hammer spring in it, or cut the spring short to reduce the trigger pull. The end result is light primer strikes for surplus ammo.
