I have a M44 that I got earlier this year, and finally got to fire it this week. What a sweet gun. The 7.62x54r packs a hell of a punch. I'm just curious if any of you guys have hunted with one, and what you have taken with it?

Thanks
It is slightly more powerful than the .308 Win., more like a .30/'06. It will kill anything an '06 will kill. I'd use 150-grain softpoints on deer, 180 or 200-grainers for bigger stuff.
