Sorry, boys, but its definately pilot error (brain fart) here. There shouldnt have been a round chambered in the first place. If theres a round chambered, nothing goes inside the trigger guard but your trigger finger.
For what it is worth the 30 M1 Carbine projectile(bullet) is .308 diameter and the 7.62x39 mm projectile (bullet)is .311 diameter. A tremendous difference in chamber size and not interchangable. Best regards,
The 7.62x39 in a proper launcher is one of the most accurate rounds in the world.
You are right that the 7.62x39 is accurate out of the right gun BUT I am looking at the knowledge level of the OP. This is a guy (no offense intended) that wants a good 'all around' rifle. He will not be reloading and wants to be able to walk into Wally World and get good ammo.
I think the .308 would be better as a "tatcticle/hunting' gun for this type of shooter.
A rifle that shoots pistol cartridges or a rifle that is famous for being inaccurate
Though I agree with the latter the former is incorrect. The 30 Carbine is not a pistol cartridge. It was designed and works well as a CARBINE round (typically 150 yards or less from a small rifle).
As much as I like the 30 carbine I would not use it for hunting deer. Get a .270 or 308 or 30-06 to hunt with.
If you want a tacticle rifle to hunt with then you can use the .308. I am not a fan of the 7.63x39 for hunting.
