If a m1 garand is a battle rifle if you dont go in battle , then a sks can be a hog rifle if you ain't shot no hogsHa Ha exactly! It's the intent. I call mine a "deer rifle" even though I have not yet shown it a deer. Maybe this year.

Both my AK's are .3085" ... I size to .311

badbob, the nose of that bullet doesn't look like it hit something sharp like the chamber edge. It looks like it hit inside the chamber rear section hard and at an angle.

PS: I've got a hog-huntin', fish-catchin' camping trip coming in a few days, for a few days, and due to truthful criticism, I must admit, I'm taking my SKS instead of the Contender I had planned to take. Headed out in the morning for a scoutin', firewood draggin'-up expedition.

Perhaps the Yugo is in some way unique compared to other SKS variants? Perhaps the type of magazine makes a difference? Perhaps your load cycles the action at a different speed than the ammo that I tried?

I have noticed that the Yugo guns often need a little more powder to get them to cycle compared to other guns. Also, I noticed that the surplus Yugo ammo seemed a tad on the warm side.

Something must be different somewhere. I'm just not sure what it is yet.

Nice write ups by the way Junior.

ps ny bushboy If a m1 garand is a battle rifle if you dont go in battle , then a sks can be a hog rifle if you ain't shot no hogsThe majority of M1s in existence have been carried into battle. They were also designed specifically for use as a battle rifle. The majority of SKS rifles have not been fired at hogs to the best of my knowledge. Not calling a M1 a battle rifle is just plain silly in my opinion. Calling a SKS a hog rifle leaves more room for debate, but once it's been carried while looking for hogs, it has earned the label far as I'm concerned.
