Many of the most treasured meat-getters in the state of Mississippi are service rifles from the military. European guns have aquired many racks. Nevertheless, with these mature combatants, suitable bullet choice is essential to gathering a white tail favorably. That beloved old style military rifle you have there is a fine old weapon indeed, but do remember that the ammunition it fires can be very expensive and hazadarous to the lifespan of the weapon itself. Cheap rounds which were manufactured and stockpiled for the next Great War, are available as military surplus.
One need only turn to a magazine or E-zine of Shotgun News or J&G catalog and you can find cases (not boxes) of Comm-bloc 7.62x54r for $80 still in the spam can along with any other popular former military ammumition you might want. This type is easily available in large quantities, perfect if you're anticipating swarms of undead or if you're after a simple plinker this is a great choice for you. Keep a large amount of it to yourself, as if your life depended on it. This stuff will extra infiltrate until you press the hard bone. The bullet can travel very far.
This process was used for firing into sandbags and timbers that were placed in defensive positions, but still had the energy necessary to keep a soldier with a steel helmet pinned down. These rounda tend to be fairly hard and will pass right through a softer-bodies animal such as while-tailed deer as opposed to less hardy munitions which could actually enter and shatter within even soft-bodied animals. It will crate a non-fatal hole wound to stop and kill the animal after it has run and had time to hide in the thicket. Old military ammunition, especially those from third world countries, are known for making ragged groups. With time, the rounds can deteriorate, the propellant and primers become aged and break down, causing variation in the way they may fire.
Due to the harsh nature of the military powders and primers used with these varieties of old ammunition, they can cause pitting or rusting if the rifle is not properly cleaned after usage. There were no concerns over wartime quality control problems, the corrosive properties of surplus ammunition or the penetration power of the rounds.
Some of the ammunition can cost $50 for a box of only 20. In other words may be your rifle was produced a hundred years ago or used in the two world wars, that does not signify it can be used another hundred years with an upgrade and modern ammo.
