"where did this come from? it's not the latest and greatest but it has compareable ballistics to 30-30 with is the all time best selling medium game cartridge around. lighter bulelts yes but it is fully capable of taking blackbear on down. "

I know i wouldn't go off with with a sks after black bears around Maine. I'd rather take a marlin with 170 grains, then i'd feel a lot better off with 5 in the tube than whatever in the stripper. the 30/30 will kick butt over the sks round, it is no contest. it is a wimp round, only meant for non-armored humans and light skinned deer. :}
