    Cast in the 7.62x39

    I have a Norinko copy of the bolt action Model 70 Winchester. I decided to try loading a 190gn 0.314" boolit and it works fine!

    Hold Still Varmint; while I plugs Yer!

    The twist is around 10” I think, because I have had good results in a Chinese SKS with a 180 gr. CB and with pulled .303 British bullets also.

    I shoot a noe 150 grain tumble lube bullet in my c/z 527 and I size it .314 and shoot it with unique powder. It is a dandy little rifle.................Curdog. I like the blue bullet.

    I have 2 Ruger ranch rifles in 7.62x39 and I love them I have killed a lot of deer with them over the years and I shoot them out to 400 yards and hold right at subMOA but for fast this is what I use the NOE 165-310 shallow HP sized and GC/PCed over 25 Varget
