I think that Fiochi is not bad, but I rarely see it anymore. I also like remington, but this is not common enough and costs a bunch. As for the cheaper ammo, I am happy with Wolf military, which seems to be the cheapest, but think the most accurate is wolf 154 grain softpoints. I am not sure why this heavier bullet (around 20% heavier than the norm) is more accurate, but this goes with my RPK, milled and stamped AK47s, and chinese, Russian, and Yugo SKS'. I have not shot brown bear in this caliber, but think the brown bear is the best regarding 9x18 Makarov ammo.

7.62x39 accuracy is dependent on your gun.
Look at an AK shot with high speed photography, the amount of flex in the gun is pretty incredible. A testament to the flex that steel can withstand. check it out on youtube.

A SKS would be better I would think. Perhaps a hunting rifle in 7.62x39 would beat it.

I have heard a rumor from some circles of a woman VC who took a lot of GI's with an SKS.

The round is not thought to be an "accurate" round probably because or it's biggest consumer, the AK.

I would be very cautious about shooting US commercial ammo from an SK.... They have a tendency for developing a bad habit of slam fires. Commie ammo has stiffer primers.

Lapua makes the best, most accurate ammo for the AK. Consider it "match grade." ( expensive but reloadable) Next to that is the Yugo surplus M67 that is out there now. Both are far more accurate than the GT, BB, SB, wolf etc.

The best groups I have gotten have been with Winchester Super-X, about 1.5" at 100m.

WOW with what rifle? Saiga?


I like Winchester super X in general. I find it to be very hot loaded.

While this thread is going can we determine the most accurate 7.62 AK?

I understand that Saiga makes the most accurate .223 AK.

Veprs are very accurate. Alot can be said for the Saiga's as well. Some of the most accurate AK's I've seen, used & just been around are the milled Bulgarian rifles from Arsenal. Both of mine will hold a 2"-3" group at 100yds with run of the mill AK ammo. With lapua or my reloads, it'll keep them 1"1/2-2" all day. (off of the bench)
I've also seen some Chinese & Yugo's that will hold there own with quality ammo.

I agree, the Yugo Komada M67 is designed for accuracy, although it is corrosive, I shoot it exclusively with great results.
