Yugoslovian 7.62x39 Military Surplus

[Adam123]

I was wanting to pick up some milsurp Yugoslovian 7.62x39 ammo and was wondering if you guys could let me know if you have any experience with it, good or bad. This ammo would be shot out of a Russian SKS. It comes in a case of 1120 rounds on 10 round stripper clips. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Anyone????? If this is in the wrong section, by all means, move me to a section where I'll get some feedback before I am bumped off page 1.

I got some Yugo ammo from SOG, 15 round boxes no strippers. It works fine. I bought it to have something to pass the magnet test at the range, then I shoot my steel stuff.

haha... nice.

Check to see if the yugo is corrosive.

last fall my nephew bought some of that at the fun show he attended and brought it w/him on a range trip we made. it shot great out of his SKS and my Mini30 fired it first pin hit every time, grouping fairly well. you nay know that Minis are ammo-sensitive.
a bit sooty but cleaned up w/out much trouble, it is corrosive primed. actually I've been contemplating buying some boxes of from AIM as it comes on strippers and I've made an adapter of a AK strip loader that fits my Mini mags. haveing 10-20 strippers of 'good' ammo (Lapua or Sako or IMI, non corro) would be good in the 'SHTF' bag for quick reload of mags.
I think you will be pleased with it. Welcome to the Forum Adam.

Its par with the Chicom made , hot loaded and very accurate. In fact, much better than the Chicom without the steelcore . It shoots quite accurately in my AKs and SKSs. And its all brasscased. Yugos make really good guns and ammo.

As others have said, good ammo but corrosive. Clean quickly after shooting or regret it later.
