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.

How many rounds are you really gonna fire on a hunt? Practice, yeah, I think that’s where you should use cheap stuff. Make the kill shot count with good stuff.

I plan on getting a rifle for hunting and boogaloo purposes. Just in case.

I think for 7.62x39 fmj is about the same price as soft point for some reason, so I'll just go with sp.
