Any reviews on this ammo/manufacturer?
I am interested in buying some.
Thanks.
OOOPs.
It said free shipping when I put in 2 cases, then charged me for shipping at check out.
I put one case in my cart to see what shipping would be to me. Then decided to see the difference with 2 cases in the cart. When I updated cart, it said "Free" instead of a shipping price. Then I went to purchase the ammo, then shipping doubled at check out.
Oh Well.
I added one to my cart before I listed this to check and it says "Calulate" by defualt until you input you zip and once I did it showed me the cost to ship it. Never saw "free" Maybe it doesn't like me.
That's O.K.
We Like you
Everyone has a "favorite" brand of inexpensive 7.62x39 ammo. Their opinions are usually formulated based on anecdotal evidence, either their own or someone else's.IMHO better than wolf
Everyone has a "favorite" brand of inexpensive 7.62x39 ammo. Their opinions are usually formulated based on anecdotal evidence, either their own or someone else's.
Other favorite types of 7.62x39 that you'll hear about online:
Yugo M67 milsurp
Norinco milsurp
Wolf Military Classic Hollow Point (the Ulyanovsk version with the 8M3 bullet)
Generic "White Box" Russian Hollow Point (also Ulyanovsk 8M3)
Golden Tiger (Vympel)
Brown Bear (Barnaul)
I'm sure Klimovsk is on that list as well. What makes things a little confusing is that ammunition plants often make the same quality ammunition for different brands. For a time, Tulammo and certain types of Wolf were made in the same plant. Tulammo just launched a brass-cased ammunition line, some of which is rebranded Fiocchi. Herter's ammunition at Cabelas rebrands ammunition from Sellier & Bellot, Tulammo and others.
But chances are, on an AK platform rifle, everything will cycle and everything will group about 2"-3" at 100 yards. By design, AKs aren't very finicky about ammo, and the only way you can figure out if one is really better than another is to shoot them side-by-side on a bench rest. Even then, the results will probably be specific to you and your rifle.
I was researching VEPRs and 7.62x54r ammunition one evening, and I watched Military Arms Channel's review of the VEPR chambered in that caliber. In that review, they shot new commercial brass cased non-corrosive ammunition (70 cents/round) and grouped about 1.75" at 100 yards. Then I read some forum reviews about the accuracy of the VEPR, and found people were getting the same sized groups with 40 year old corrosive Russian spam can ammunition (20 cents/round).
Sorry for the long-winded rant on ammunition. I've just come to the conclusion that if you search online hard enough, you'll find someone saying something good or bad about any brand. And usually, in that same discussion page, you'll find another person with a contradictory experience.
