I've seen him a couple of times but this time I was able to get the 6.8 and slip over to the feeder.

Nicely done. What ammo are you shooting?

Does anyone think the 7.62x39 works as good as the 6.8?
Nice job. Don't mean to hijack thread.

Nice job. Don't mean to hijack thread. I don't know why the 7.62x39 wouldn't work. Use good ammo, make a good shot and I'm sure that round would be lethal.

 Dalee7892 the 7.62x54 works great on a hog & its cheaper than the .223 55gr fmj & hp used to take down hogs on WMA... got my .223's before the prices went way up...

SST is my favorite ammo. I shoot it in 6.8 and 300 BO with devastating results.

7.62x39 works pretty good if you get good ammo.
I handloaded some 123gr SSTs for it and it did the job.
It was accurate enough but fell off at longer distances.
I have a 6.8 and use the 120gr SSTs in it and have taken hundreds of pigs with it.
I still have both and use them for different situations but 6.8 is my goto pig slayer.
Cheers,
