This is true.
Hornady loads regular soft point ammo in 7.62x39, as well as all of the european manufacturers. I bet midway has some good stuff

Thanks. Am going to hit some of the local sporting goods stores at lunch and see what they got.

I recently bought a Ruger M77 in 7.62 x 39 and tried a bunch of different ammo in it, including Hornady, S&B, Tula, Silver Bear and Golden Bear. The best grouping ammo was Russian Golden Bear 125 gr SP. It grouped consistently 3 shots into 1" group. Paid about $6.50/box (20 rds). I went ahead and bought 10 boxes as a result. I cannot vouch for its terminal performance, but at the modest velocities of around 2400 fps, I bet the SP bullets will mushroom and hold together.I plan to shoot a couple deer with it this season and see how it does.
