Big thanks to radiotom from 10mm-firearms.com for providing the ammo.
 
Thats a great video, thanks for sharing the results. I built a 7.62x39 ar for hunting and am just getting ready to reload, I may have to see if I can copy the ballistics of this setup.
 
My old USAF buddy lives and hunts in northern Virginia. His rifle is a short CZ carbine chambered for this amazing Soviet cartridge. Each year he downs half dozen does and a buck. Typically just one shot into each animal.

Very informative. What ammo does your friend use, Jack?

I used cast last year in my CZ. Worked like a champ.
 
I'll have to test that one too. I'll keep an eye out for it. I've heard, but cannot confirm, that the same bullet is used in Fusion and Federal Power-Shok.
