WASR10 for hog?

[MuddyWaterMan]

Hey guys, I have a WASR10 (AK-47 clone) and was wondering if the 7.62x39 would be adequate for hogs? I fell very confident with it but wanted to get some other opinions! Thanks in advance guys.

VERY adequate for hogs.

Should be. If .30-30 works, 7.62x39 will.

Ive known people to use the round for Hog and deer so go have some fun.

Should be. If .30-30 works, 7.62x39 will.

Well put similar ballistics and power factor.

7.62x39 is a hog caliber all day long. Line up some small ones and you'll get a two-fer so long as the bullet doesn't yaw.

+1 for what everybody else said.

Can you get anything but FMJ in the 7.62 x 39?

Soft-point & Hollow point, that I know about.

Okay, then. Shoot the hell out of em! FMJs just dont work too well on piggies.

I usually use 7.5 Swiss. More power than the venerable 7.62x39, but that'd work too. If it doesn't, use a hammer.

I had a friend that would hunt deer and pigs with the 7.62x39 and hp's all the time go,play, have fun!

 

[MuddyWaterMan]

Thanks for the input fellas.
