Tulla or wolf?… I’ve never had a tulla come apart unless it did it within 50 but I wouldn’t know cause I haven’t found one after that close. Which still means it probably didn’t come apart. They are both hollow base though. One hog shoulder made one shed about a 1/3ish stopped in other shoulder.

It's a great round. I only pick on the soy boyz for snapping 7.62x39 barrels onto their ARs. It's like they know AKs are better but don't want to admit it. I have AKs but would love to get a bolt action 7.62x39. Nice choice!

@@theroller5673 If a garbage mugging and drive by gun AK is so great then where are they at the greatest shooting match's like Camp Parry where the AR and M-16 compete. The AK is a criminal's gun with shoot from the hip accuracy. Also, the AK is inherently a jamamatic - fails often to fire and blows up often garbage gun. I've been watching Ukrainian soldier in trenched in fire fights having to unjam those trash AKs and talking the AKs apart to fix them right in an assault on them by Russians. One of the captured Russian officers stated he was the only survivor of 100 Russian soldiers because their AKs kept jamming up and some blew up when assaulting the Ukrainians in the trenches.

@@Lure-Benson wow you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. I have both an AK and several ar15s not a problem with either. They are both great rifles in their own right. Aks an Ars are both maximum 400 to 500 yard rifles in their respective standard caliber's. Don't run off at the mouth about things that you have never studied on your own

@@codyworley5623 I just wrote to you very technical information that doesn't come from where you get all of your gun information from KZfaq, so you care to take back that crap you wrote? I am 63 years old with I've been hanging around a local gun shop from age 16 when this shop was making High dollar custom rifles. I am also since 1978 a professional hunting guide in the Pacific NW - Alaska - and work in Romania. What I know about firearms comes from the say been there done that ! I am sure you have no idea how far 500 yards is really a long way and if I asked you to show me 500 yard you would point to the end or 2 city blocks. So let me turn that around on you, never run that PUNK mouth to an adult man that builds custom rifles, is also a professional hunting guide when all you know is coming from KZfaq videos. I don't study things like you do by watching KZfaq I've already done it.

@@Lure-Benson Must be a troll comment, if not, then all I can say is bias perspectives negate facts or truth in order to believe whatever fiction they want in order to feel good about themselves or something they like or have been taught. It does nothing beneficial for you because you miss out on the truth due to your own bias opinion which literally stands in your way, which you allow btw, that deflects truth so you live blind by choice, it says a lot about ones character which is clear and obvious. That being said, Ak's are in a lot of matches but the inherent design is for war, not shooting matches lol. There isn't a whole lot of special ammo out there for them here in the states, it's hard to get reloading stuff for them, they are not super popular like the AR due to obvious facts such as we are in AMERICA and it's a soviet weapon lol. After market for an AR is endless and by design the AR comes more ergonomic (which AK's now days are coming that way as well) Also the other thing is because of the bigger bullet it has more recoil so target acquisition while firing and moving is harder. There are a lot of gun matches all around the country where people run 5.56 aks' 5.45 ak's etc. and a lot of them take 1st place, but so do ar's, also some 7.62 ak's take first as well. AK accuracy is actually really good despite people's myths which came from the middle east where all the barrels are pitted and worn out, neglected for 50 years, rusted, never maintained etc. etc. which btw, they are still functioning which goes to say at least something haha. Same with the AR getting a bad rep during Vietnam, which those problems have been fixed which is why I don't hold that opinion. 7.62x39 making 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches at 100 yards is great accuracy and that is what these AK's are capable of. Anyone who brags about 5.56 accuracy negates the fact that anything over 200 yards has such little power on target that you would be better suited with something else. Would be like using a .22 at that point, check the sheets on it. That being said, the 7.62x39 accuracy is good up to 300-350 yards, 400 is pushing it (still has power, but environmental effects really start pushing the bullet such as wind), but typical battle range is 300 and under which means technically speaking, the AK has the advantage when it comes to stopping power if it's a 5.56 vs 7.62x39. If you like AR's which i'm assuming you do because of what you said, good for you, but whatever you just wrote was honestly embarrassing due to the fact that the truth on these matters have already come to light, and has been available to the public for some years especially since the popularity of the AK has been on the rise.

I’ll take details on both if you don’t mind.

My pleasure and I’m glad you found your rifle!

What about home defense

Have you ever recovered the projectile? It's great for hunting but I've noticed they always tumble and exit the target.

@@user-km5kj8xh1x I would only recommend if you live in the countryside. One of these rounds would go through quite a few walls before stopping. Even if you shoot someone the projectile wouldnt stop in them lol.

@@shitcreekwarrior8794 heck a 300blk round I loaded 130gr sp blew through 16" seasoned pine and stopped at 13-15"

@@joemoment-o1275 it seems they are both very similar. Basically Americas 7.62x39

😂 that might be a little tough to pull off lol

Do it! Do it! Do it! =)

Awesome, glad to have you on board!

I’m a big fan as well, thank you!

How many grains of 1680 are you using?

Yes please recipe to load would be highly appreciated.

What is the diameter of the bullet?

@@RiverRat1953 .308

What a shame that CZ discontinued the 527. I have one and a CZ 600 Trail both in 7.62x39. The 600 Trail is nice but it uses the Bren 2 magazines that about half of them need the feed lips dressed down with a file to work. I'm not a big fan of the 527 magazines but I sure wish the 600 Trail them instead.

Still recommend?

Thank you so much. And yes he went flying high in this one lol 😂

Thank you sir. Yeah Jim went for a few rides lol

Lol he got some good rides in on this one

Very good performance inside the distances it’s intended for

Gel is interesting for me to watch in general lol

Yeah I was pretty surprised by the results too.

This one and the 30/30 are very capable rounds in my opinion.

I'm surprised at how many ' experts' don't realize this round is essentially a 150gr. 30/30 round with a pointed bullet. Out to 300yds. they are about the same. The 7.62/39 takes over at that point due to it's bullet shape.

@@brutalbob3982 3030 has more power and can sling heavier bullets but they're fairly close

@@ryantogo8359 compare the BC and SD between the 154gr 311 and 170 gr .308

@@jamescalhoun4588 154gr 7.62x39 2150 fps, bc=.330 160gr 30-30 2400 fps, bc=.330 The 30-30 kicks the 7.62x39's ass by 250fps shooting a heavier bullet with better sectional density

Good to have you watching from so close away lol. I’ll keep my eye out for those sierra’s. Until then... ooooooh C-A-T-S, cats cats cats! Lol. Love some vols too though

Yeah but will the Sierra bullet open up? Or was probably designed for 303 brit velocities

That wolf hp is interesting, because of the jacket separation it fragments like a 5.56 bullet when it yaws.

Thank you sir!

Seems to be a popular opinion lol

I agree. Gold dot looks like a great defensive bullet and the federal a great hunting bullet

@@thegundungeon definitely agree. Shared the video a few time on some gun groups , on mewee

Yeah ol jim lives a rough life lol 😂. I was a bit shocked by the gold dots in this one, my experience with their rifle bullets have been deep penetrators.

@@thegundungeon must be right at low end velocity to get max expansion and not enough extra to drive it deeper. 😉

@@kentuckyrangetime could be, I really figured it would be optimized for the x39 since it was a .311 bullet. Maybe they use the same bullet construction as the .308 bullets but just size them different. Who knows lol. Plus I’m pushing these pretty hard, top end of the published load using CFE blk, I can’t find a powder that has better velocities.

@@thegundungeon looked at IMR-4198?

@@kentuckyrangetime yeah, hodgdon’s site lists a max velocity with cfe blk at 2,554 fps and a max velocity with 4198 at 2,378 in the 123-5g bullet weight

You don't have an AR in x39?

@@joemoment-o1275 No. It is hard to find curved magazines that function well in an AR. And I think 5.56 has a lot of advantages over the x39, so it hasn't been one of my priorities.

I really want to get my hands on some of the heavier stuff to test, I hear great things about it hunting wise

@@thegundungeon No primers and reloading supples, or just store bought? Stupid question, but is 7.62 reloadable? Sorry, I don't know much about rifle loads or hunting ammo.

@@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG yeah it’s reloadable. The heavy I was talking about is a wolf soft point load that many say is good for deer.

is that a hollow point?

@@mr.c.3760 It is a soft point. Sorry, I don't know why I didn't clarify that in my comment. It's ballistics are insane. :)

@@Lando1214 well whenever they're in stock again, I'll make sure to pick up a few

I use Hornady Black for deer, wolf 154gr soft point for hogs! Never has never let me down!

Did not know that. I’ll have to check them out

I’ve shot a lot of that ammo and have never had any problems with it.

Thank you sir, I put the review of that rifle on my list of videos to do.

Ruger’s proprietary magazines are a dealbreaker

@@jungleno. I could see it being an issue for me in a semiauto but not a bolt action. I’m not Lee Harvey Oswald, I’m only looking for a fun plinker, not a sniper rifle. 😉

I wish I had a pile of it. I’ve not had much luck finding any in the last few months

No.. That round was made for shorter barrels such as AK.. You might gain a little more with 18 or so but most people don't use this round for long range past 250 yards for hunting and that is pushing it.. Don't get me wrong the round has been killing people in every war on the planet out to 400 odd yards for 75 years but not for hunting or PR shooting!! If you want long range go 308, 6.5, 30:06 ect ect!!

@@larryw5429 Ok, thanks for the reply. I love my ‘06’s myself.

The 255grn cycle my 11" PWS. It is 4 position gas piston however. Works on #3 and #4 with AB suppressor.
