Depends on how you reload them.. Factory is not impressive and not much more useful than punching holes in paper. (or short range executions) Reloads created with the correct bullet with the correct powder and tweaked just right are a different story.Lepisosteus platyrhincus;5041579; said:7.62x38?? need to read up on that. that has to be potent. edit not as potent as i would have though but still a good round
Unfortunate rut people tend to get themselves into when it comes to firearms is they think they are pigeonholed to factory ammo. This is not true if you are willing to do just a bit more work.
I'm one that will fully put the time and money to make sure that the ammo I use is exactly as I want it and it is what my guns want as well.
