[R.W.Dale]

I got this E-Mail response from wolf concerning thier 7.62x39 Ammunition. I thought it was worth sharing.




Sorry for the delay in responding, we were having trouble with the email server and we just received numerous old messages.

I have heard about the guys using the 154gr sp 7,62x39 so far that its accurate stuff.  The power doesn't look bad either.  I wouldn't go looking for anything bigger than deer with it.  I picked up a few boxes but i haven't benchrested it yet.

[R.W.Dale]

I have, 100yds  CZ527 carbine.

I have used those 154gr SP before and my SKS didn't like them, they wouldn't feed very well. But they shoot good for Krochus, no doubt.
The Wolf 124gr HP, shoot much better in my SKS.
 I ordered some Silver Bear 123gr SP and am very happy with these. Shot a couple boxes of them today.
Oh, and thanks for the chart man :agree:

[1911crazy]

I was looking at the 123gr SP I'll have to get some too and try it.

A 5/8" group thats when you put a good accurate rifle in the hands of a person that can shoot it.  Thats a 5/8" group with russian made ammo.

[myarmor]

Yes an accurate rifle with a capable shooter behind it, that's what attributes to tiny groups.....that and good ammo, and it's nice to see it happen with cheap ammo every now and then.
Just saying mine doesn't like the 154's
