150 gr. Hornady in 7.62x54R

[Win75]

Thanks for the replies.

I have slugged the bore and it is around .309-.310.

Standard surplus ammo gives pressure signs and that is why I slugged the barrel to begin with. I pulled the bullets from some S&B ammo and loaded a few 150 grain FMJ .308 bullets. I got a 3 shot group at 50 yards of a little less than an inch.

100 yards with open sights and my old eyes (my wife says I am not old but at 57, I don't pick up open military sights like I used to) is a limit on deer that I think I need to set to keep from just wounding the animal.

I was just not sure if the round nose bullet was a good choice.

Thanks again.
