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.
