Igman 7.62x54r 150 gr. SP All content copyright © 7.62x54r.net Return to 7.62x54r Ammunition Introduction |
This current production ammunition is made in Bosnia-Herzegovina and is unique as the only light ball soft point on the market. It is similar to the Privi Partizan ammo as they are both manufactured in ex-military factories of the former Yugoslavia. The brass case is boxer primed and easily reloadable and this ammunition is a good value in a lighter weight hunting bullet. According to the Chrony Ballistics II Software used in this evaluation the optimum game weight when fired from an M91/30 is 609 lbs at 100 yards and 320 lbs at 300 yards. This should be more than adequate for North American deer and antelope.
Funding for this evaluation was provided in part by "BSA" and "Shyquestor" of Gunboards.com. Thanks to "Springbank" for range assistance.
