THe Tantals had this problem when Century tried to cut corners by using 5. Problem solved. It's not the reason I bought a. Also I think the more people here in the states play with AK's and work on them, the more accurate they are going to get.

One thing to consider in terms of availability, there was a shortage of 5. I sold my 5. Due to the lack of US manufacturers and very limited support even from Wolf and Tula, all I had was an expensive paper weight.

And it's a fact that some calibers will do it better then others. You wouldn't carry a. There are more much wider variety of choices in 7. I might get some hollow point 7. I'm just more interested in knowing what's more lethal in FMJ form though. The mil classic camo box 8m3 hp are the only cheap imported ones I tested that actually open up and react real well.

Bear came second place. Wolf Black box really disappointed. All true, but I would never trust my life to Wolf's quality control or that of any other commercial Russian ammo manufacturer. I would trust it to military-produced 7N6 though. The Hornady rounds look interesting, but I'm not confident that they will perform well after going through soft body armor, which is a requirement for me.

Considering that the 6. Thanks for the info, buzz The Hornady would probably work fine in 7. What I have noticed is my 7. I have not had any ammo problems with the mil classic I bought in the past, but I really want to see laquered cases, sealed primers, and sealed case necks.
