[NewGunner7.62]

iv been asked to go hunting with my granddad and uncle for moose, mule (if we get them) and white tail. i hunt with a 91/59, svt 40 with mfs 203gr soft points and this year i was going with my cooey with imperial 160gr sp for deer would they be still acceptable for moose?

(different gun each week)

@silverfoxdj
if you mean the 91/59 then ya she's my first rifle and no surplus ammo will ever touch her (im weird i know)

I may be off base here, but you should NOT be using such heavy bullets in your SVT. The SVT is designed and regulated to use military issue 147gr Light ball rounds. It is not and never was designed to fire the very heavy 203gr bullets. Using those rounds could potentially wreck your rifle. I know that M14 users avoid any bullet over 165gr, and usually prefer to stick with the lighter 155 and 150gr bullets for much the same reason.

@Blastattack
you are right in every way but that is way i love the svt 40 its adjustable gas system lets me at the lowest setting and i only fire 5 of them a year if that the rest is the 147gr ball.
m1 is like that too but does not have a gas adjustment so i only m1 ammo for it

Are you asking if cartridges that served European hunters for years, one being similar in performance to .30-06, are still capable of killing stuff now that there are more powerful cartridges? Does your truck go slower if your neighbour supes his up, or does his just go faster? Go kill some s**t!

@supernova
