I see lots of posts online saying the 7.62x39 is not powerful enough for large game.

I would have to disagree, even the 125gr sp rounds performed well up to 100 yards in my experience.

The 150gr 7.62 rounds are sparsely available now, if at all. What are some cheap calibers to hunt deer with that aren't strictly bolt action? I can't afford $1 per round at the moment.

Most rifle calibers are fine for smaller deer, like white tail. Especially if 100 yards or less.

Check local laws.

Looking back on when 5.56 was ¢30 a round kills me. I'm retarded for not stocking up years ago.

Seems like the .30 carbine is a decent option for now.
