Favorite Ammunition
Well, in shopping for ammunition today, I realized that there are literally dozens of kinds of 7.62x39 ammunition available at any given time.
I've only been able to shoot four or five different brands through my Saiga, and of those have picked out a favorite... one that shoots the cleanest, is most accurate, most consistant, has good "punch" to it, and maybe most importantly, is a good bargain. I'm curious as to what you all pick as your favorite ammo. This will by no means be a complete list, but I'll try and put as many choices as I can in the poll. EDIT: I voted for Barnaul, as I've put several hundreds of rounds of Silver Bear through my gun, and have yet to have a single issue. However, I today I came across some surplus ammo that was brass-cased, copper jacketed, and came in boxes that I can only describe as Chinese food take-out boxes. I'm not sure what country it's from, but I have a feeling this stuff will be great ammo. It's marked 13 and 88 on above and below the primer. The only thing I can think of is that it's Chinese, which would be marked "factory 13" and "1988"

i think the only surplus 7.62 you can find on the market now days is the yugo brass from samco.

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure I've seen other surplus ammo floating around in local shops from time to time. Not to mention the stuff I just bought today

I picked Barnual, because I have a bunch...
Wolf (military classic, black box) is the same stuff as Golden Tiger and Hot Shot. Both made by Tula.

AK ammo + AK iron sites = minute of man
This is pretty much set in stone for an AK so you might as well get the cheapest ammo that can reliably goes bang. I like Golden Tiger the best only because it has been good to me at the price I got it at, but I have tired pretty much all AK ammo, Wolf classic, Wolf BB, Norinco, Hungarian, Romanian, Silver Bear, Brown Bear, etc, and every single one of them went bang. |

Swiss GP11 and Prvi Partizan, because Prvi is relatively cheap for good reusable brass.

uh, GP11 isn't 7.62x39....its 7.5 Swiss. Privi is also Wolf Gold and it is very good ammo.....
