RE: 7.62X39 DEER LOADS
what are you gonna be shooting your loads from? If its a SKS or AK you might slug your bore to find out exactly what diameter of bullet to use depending on your bore diameter this may limit what bullets you can use and also may hinder accuracy. I load for a Yugo sks which is right on the money for a .310" dia bullet but my buddy has a norinco (chinese) that slugged .311" dia so hes using speer hot cor 150 grain .311 dia in his sks in mine im using speer hot cor .310" dia bullets and cant find them in anything heavier than 123 grain.

RE: 7.62X39 DEER LOADS
those are a good lookin gun they have a very european style to them. being a commercial production gun it will likely be a .310" dia bore. I dont really have a pet load where I only shoot 7.62x39 through my sks and accuracy doesnt really get any better than about 3 inch groups at 100 yards. But I do highly recommend the speer hot cor as good as it does terminal ballistically speaking on 200+ pound ferrel hogs which the bullet has no problem making a complete pass through on lung shots or completely shattering shoulder bones on a shoulder hit Id imagine they would work equally as well on deer.

Warning!! This load is OVER MAX in several manuals, but has always worked well for me in all the 7.62X39mm rifles I've shot it in, including a Ruger Mini-30! Work up slowly, if you try it.
