44 Grain Hollow Core 7.62x54R

Howdy, Folks.
I found it at ammoman.com. Tell me about it? Simply target? Any non-target capabilities (e.g. what does it do on a person or in ballistics gel)? What's the flash like in a MN? I have quite a few much better choices for HD and SHTF but I'd like to know how it performs in case the S truly HTF and everything else because I know Jack $ about this kind of ammo.

Short range practice ammo not known for being particularly accurate but is soft on the shoulder. I haven't heard of potential for self-defense, but it would certainly be lethal.

How's about in a small critter like a skunk or a feral cat or something?

I bet it would be a devastating round for small game. It'll probably blow them up from the insane velocity.

Likely going to shoot low, very low.

Just a guess, but I would say it has a lighter powder charge than the 150 and 180 grain loads and is around the same velocity. Again, just a guess.

Bumpfulness?

Shoots point-of-aim in most of my rifles, massive concussion and tons of noise, THE flashiest ammo around, incredibly fun, less recoil than a .30 Carbine, and pretty accurate. Great ammo on vermin like raccoons. Cycles a SVT but not a PSL.

Vaarok,

What range did you try with that?

Thanks,

I have shot it at 100 yards in a 91/30 and it shot under 3" consistantly. Shot right on when I moved the sights to 100.

Nice blast and flash, with little to no recoil.

Send it to the Brass Fetcher
