RE: Mini 30 with Wolf 7.62x39
NO,NO,NO, dont do it Unless you want bad groups, and worn out barrel. Yes it will Physically fire but the bullet is larger and will create more pressure in your gun. If you want to shoot the surplus stuff, wolf, and European ammo buy an SKS or Saiga rifle(semi AK). If you want a nice deer rifle that doubles as a good tactical gun then buy the Ruger. I had a ruger mini 30 a few years ago and it was a nice rifle and very accurate. People say these guns are not accurate probally used the .311 european ammo. It is confusing I know. I believe that Ruger uses the same 30 caliber barrel blank for many guns. Then they cut them down and chamber them depending on caliber(.308, 30-06,300 mag,etc). With all the 30 caliber cartrages out there and with how many Ruger offers this makes since to me.
