The SKS round fires the 7.62x39 cartridge. It is slightly less powerful than the .30-30 deer cartridge, and considerably less powerful than the .30-06

I always have to laugh at the "assault rifle" hysteria.

Like you point out, a lever action .30-30 is more powerful. And lighter and shorter than an AK-47. It must be that pistol grip on the "assault rifle" that makes it more dangerous.

Slightly is the key word here. after 150 yd. The 7.62x39
starts Becomes more "powerful" that the 30-30
