I’ve read before that for dear sized game you need about 800 ft-lbs. of energy in a round. If that’s true and it’s probably a good rough guide then 7.62x39 would be capable of putting down a dear out to about 250 yards, according to the Remington Shoot program that is. Also according to that if you are zeroed at 100 yards and are shooting at 250 with that round you will probably be hitting over a foot low.
