Looks like you got it dialed in pretty good. It can get better. Need ta rezero based on sight work and grouping targets from yesterday . Probably 1/2 turn counter clockwise on the front sight. Then maybe a 1/8 to 1/4 push turn on the windage drum. Do it midweek sometime soon when all the yahoo,s aint at the range arriving all the time wanting colds to set up targets.

Do you have any experience with Golden Tiger ammo?
I ordered some from SGAmmo, 500 rounds, 124gr FMJ. Reviews seem OK from what I see online. Figured I'd give it a try.

The RA / GT is one in the same Red army standard 124gr Hpbt is how I bought it off a dude on arms list local. RA item AM2458 IIRC Same line Same lot runs outta the vympel plant as the golden tiger 124gr hpbt. Just rebranded for sale by CAI. Any RA bullet and primer purple laquer sealed is GT. lateral dispersion for me. But acceptable accuracy. I will shoot it up as I replace it with wolf 123gr polyformance Hp.

Target sports dont charge shipping and is usualy less than SG by about 10 bucks per 1k but their selection is limited. SG has the deal with vympel for GT IIRC. They list brown bear 123gr hp poly coated. Signed up for notification on that stuff also. Have heard that is really accurate also.
Lots of other sites are listing expected dates of oct on various out of stock brands Think they are trying wait for election approaching prices.

I have tested a schitt load of ammo in my rifle. Wolf 123 gr hp polyformance hp copper coated bimetal has always been the winner.Monarch 123 gr hp from academy which is laquer coated and the bullet is zinc coated bimetal Both Barnaul rds Both same level of accuracy in the rifle. I need more wolf...... Period.... 1 buck cheaper a box than the monarch brand at academy. Which equals 50 bucks less per 1k. This is where I've chosen to put the lion's share of my 7.62x39 ammo money. IMHO: Where the sun, moon and stars converge for me. Price, Accuracy/Dependability, Velocity. If you're pushing 2375, you're basically at top velocity performance for inexpensive factory ammo, anyway. To trade up from there will cost you 2-3 times what you can stockpile the Wolf for. I've put back a stack of it. Its good stuff. Wanna try the brown bear 123gr hp poly coated case. Barnual ammo. Bet it is the same exact line run as the wolf. The wolf standard deviation is under 13 fps The brown bear is like under 12 Some 7.62x39 SD is in the 30,s and 40,s ^^^^^^^^^^^ Tula anything 6 to 8 moa crap, except for "their" 8m3 vympel factory contracted out rd. The tula 122 hp shoots 1 moa from my ar in 7.62x39. It has a 3-9 scope on it. I need to get out and try some different brands when it becomes available again. The hp stuff doesn't really expand. I had a few 125 sp and 154 so that expanded well like a hunting bullet. I didn't get around to finding the best one before the commie cold hit. If I find a good sp round when prices come back down I'll stock up. Bb

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Times like now is the reason I decided to have some 7.62x39 capability. 7.62x39 seems to be available in some form, most always, at prices are not daylight robbery.

Another one 6.8, you can buy that stuff all day long. Our sportsmans was all almost sold out 7.62x39. They had some match grade stuff I forget who it was loaded by.

6.8 is a nice round, but 7.62x39 is still plentiful at under 30 cents a pop.

Dont see it hitting hunting ammo prices drastically if at all around here.
C19 worldwide production and shipping effects.... overseas and domestic I almost think at times production is being held back to flood with premium pricing and waiting for lowcost overseas shipping deals across the alantic and pacific out of planned supply and demand.
Like I said in a previous post many online sites say oct delivery dates...
Then everyfugging liberal retard buying guns and ammo cause of C19 and urban/ metro libtards buying cause the boo is rearing its ugly head aint helping U.S. production keep up either.
