First, I'd like to comment that 7.62x39 is not match-grade by nature. It has very poor ballistic properties. While you may be able to get handloads or match-grade rounds to shoot better than OTHER 7.62x39 rounds, it's not going to compare to other common calibers. Effectively, you'll wind up with a better 7.62x39 round, but it will still be a 7.62x39 round.
Has anyone tried the Winchester white box from Walmart?...or does everyone shun them because they don't care about our rights?
I disagree, The shape of the case and what's stamped on the casehead have vuritually NOTHING to do with the end result of how accurate your rifle is. Ammo quality and constancy and rifle are 99.8% of your accuracy equation.
In a quality platform shootin ammo built for accuracy 7.62x39mm is every bit as accurate as any other cartridge you care to name. I have a purpose built 7.62x39mm bench gun that will hold 5shot groups within 0.35 MOA all the way out to 300m if I do my part. My better 100yd groups are well under .3 MOA. Granted this isn't shooting factory ammo but it's still 7.62x39 loaded on factory cases using unmodified dies.
But to say that 7.62x39 can't be accurate because...um...well... it's 7.62x39 is patently false.

+1. Hey krochus, what are you shooting that out of? A cz of some type I'm guessing?

The problem with the Big Three ammo is that American companies often load the 7.62x39mm with .308 caliber projectiles
This will serve fine in a Mini-30,
Needless to say, that disparity in bore diameter vs. projectile diameter will make accuracy suffer.
My main concern about American-made 7.62x39mm is the possibility that American-style softer primers might be used, potentially increasing the risk of slamfires in a rifle not designed for soft-primered ammunition. Eastern bloc primers were/are quite hard.Has anyone tried the Winchester white box from Walmart?
Slug your bbl and mould your chamber. You may need custom dies to make cases your rifle will shoot best.
