Just shot my first GT. Had a short charge. Third to last round, and the recoil was muted, and the case didn't eject, and jammed the gun. This from a 500 rd lot and a sample size so far of 80 rds.

The rounds look great, with nice lacquer coating and red sealant. Accuracy was very good. Shot 20rds into about 2.5" at 50 yards from sitting with my SA85M.

I've shot thousands of Wolf with no hitches. Had a squib Tula and won't do that again. Hopefully, that's the only problem I ever have with GT.

I had one round out of the 120 I've fired so far fall to ignite after two strikes. I tried to pull the bullet down, but after ten minutes with my kinetic hammer I gave up... It still kind of hurts since they are twice as expensive as my 223 hand loads.

I've found the GT in 7.62x39 to be very reliable and accurate ammo in my Fuller AK's.

I've shot a couple thou rds of Golden Tiger, have had two rds that failed to fire after multiple strikes. My only problems. Accuracy was good. I still buy it. Fired through SGL-21.

3000+ rounds of GT,i had only 1 primer that would not ignite.
twice i have stopped to check barrel just because i thought the recoil felt light(no barrel obstruction),which it was because i didnt have a bullet hole in the target for both of those rounds.
none of the above came from the same case of ammo.
will still continue to buy and use

Given the russian stellar reputation for Q.C. I would saw we are doing pretty good with GT ammo
