my AK sporter looks identical to this one, remember FLORIDA requires a 5 shot max magazine capacity on semi auto deer rifles
If you are building or buying a 7.62x39 and are arguing with yourself over bore diameter, consider that ,
most .308-caliber spitzer bullets are not designed to provide their best terminal performance at 7.62x39 impact velocities
most .308 bullets in hand loads ,will result in horrible accuracy .
And, even though there’s not a wide selection of
.310 and .311 bullets,
those available are just the right weight and length for the 7.62x39 and do provide good terminal performance.

this is the only bullet Ive found that produces target grade accuracy in my rifles in 7.62-39mm
its .311, .308 bullets are about as accurate in my rifle as throwing rocks, if your blind-folded while dead drunk on roller skates
imr 3031 and imr 4064 work well but most load data is a bit hot, so work up carefully, 2" 100 yard groups are easily achieved

most deer hit with the ak cartridge act like they were hit with a 30/30, some drop, most run a short distance, its effective but its sure not a 270 or 25/06.
