Cartridges in this catalog:
7.62×39
7.62×39 is the classic intermediate 7.62 round from AK and SKS rifles. It offers modest recoil and solid short to mid range punch, best suited to woods hunting, plinking, and defensive roles rather than true long range work.
303 British
303 British is a classic rimmed service cartridge with a long hunting history. In good rifles it offers moderate recoil and reliable penetration on deer sized game and larger, especially with quality soft point or bonded bullets.
7.62x54R
7.62x54R is a full power rimmed 7.62 service cartridge still in use today. It offers strong ballistics similar to other classic 30s, with plenty of punch for larger game when loaded with appropriate hunting bullets and used in sound rifles.
