Cool picture.

The Uly must suck. No powder.

Wow, that's a lot of air in the Wolf ammo. Instant flatpoint on contact.

Considering that 7.62x39 is a ballistic twin for the old 30:30, I wonder how that bullet would perform on deer? Externally, it looks like a pointed FMJ, exactly the round you *don't* want to use, but it would probably perform as well as any flat-pointed solid.

Peel off that jacket and the lead core looks just like an LBT (on left):

Uncle: The Uly is California-legal. Duh!

I shot a nice 8-point buck with some of the Romanian pointed soft point ammo, 1 shot into the rear of the ribcage through the body exiting just behind the left shoulder. appox live weight 150-160# (est) he was on the ground before the brass. (nice thing about eastern European weaponry, the brass forms a secondary projectile travelling nearly as far and fast as the bullet lol. As anticipated, damage internally was not nearly as OMG as with an 8x57 150 gr @ 2900 but was entirely adequate and much easier to clean. The 7.62X39 has become what I carry for deer now in NW Arkansas. Range at impact was appox 60 yds.
