I’m considering an upper to use for a lightweight, shorter range, freezer filler. Primary purpose would be whitetail, but with a few conditions. I reload everything I shoot. I may buy factory ammo just to get brass, but for serious work it’s hand loaded and built to be accurate.
For those of you who hunt with a 7.62x39 I’m interested. I hear it’s the semiauto 30-30.
For those that reload 7.62x39 what’s the quirks? What bullets are good in .311 diameter? Is there a decent hunting bullet that’s readily available? Is boxer brass really all that hard to find?
For 7.62x39 AR specifically, what are the quirks? One brand barrel or upper surprisingly good for the money? Should I anticipate changing out buffer springs or is it just as simple as other upper swaps where you slap on an upper and a new magazine and roll with it?
I’m open to ideas, and I’m not yet tied to the concept, but it sounds good in my head.
