hello all,
I'm thinking about messing around with a truck gun load next year for my SKS. I have a number of 150gr hornady soft points designed for 303 brit and 7.7 jap that I think would make a decent round for anything in Idaho given proper range and shot placement. my question is does the SKS have the twist rate to stabilize anything heavier than the standard 123gr bullet?
