Well,I just was given a short+sweet Paratrooper version of the sks That would make a GREAT deer rifle.Any advice on Bullet selection with the limited velocity of the 16" barrel??I want to make some nice reloads for hunting next year but am not sure what would make the best bullet with the reduced velocity of the 16" barrel.I won't be taking a shot beyond 100yrds or so(lucky to get 50yrds

).Thanks for any advice..
