I'm thinking of buying some 7.62x39 ammo for my Chinese SKS. I say thinking because as everyone knows ammo prices are just ridiculous now.
Anyway, I was looking online at Midway, and noticed they had 4 choices of "cheap" Wolf ammo: 1) 122 gr. FMJ, 2) 122 gr. JHP, 3) 124 gr. FMJ, 4) 124 gr. JHP.
Personally, I can't see why a company would make a round in the same caliber with the same type of bullet with only only 2 gr. of difference in weight. I mean, what kind of difference is that going to make ballistically, 1 or 2 ft. per second?
I'm guessing the FMJ would be more reliable in terms of feeding. But, the JHP would be the choice for ranges that don't allow you to shoot FMJ bullets.
I'm going to be using the ammo for target practice, so I'm mainly concerned with reliable feeding, accuracy, and low cost.
I know Wolf ammo ain't the best. It shoots kinda dirty, and I've experienced hard primers in the past. Plus, I've heard that that lacquer coating can "melt off" in your gun's chamber, leading to extraction problems.
Anyone have experience in what worked best for their SKS's or AK's? Also, anyone know of any reliable places that sells 7.62 Russian for less than $4.59 for 20 rounds?
