Either will work, but I'd go with the 158. Shot my first deer with a SKS when I was 9.

Used an SKS hunting deer in early 90s a little. Wasn't really impressed with the penetration of the 123 gr Winchester SP factory loads that I hunted with for a few deer. I would try the 158s if I were to try it again
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Both have performed well for me on 75-150lb hogs, but my Yugo SKS is about 3x more accurate with Herter's 154gr SP than it is with any 12x grain ammo that I've tried.

A thousand reasoned opinions never equal to one case of diving in and finding out.
