. I'm racking up the posts because I'm a gun but. I live in the center of a liberal controlled city. I have no vehicle. Most people where I live are felons. I am a chronic pain sufferer so its hard for me to sustain employment. I can't wait to get to the range. I'm only 48 but I feel 78 at times. I got 12 mags. I just need rounds for target shooting. I got premium rounds for self defense.Quote:

That "poison bullet" BS is pretty much Soviet propaganda, some SF guys who came back from Afghanistan who worked with former Muj who fought against the Soviets asked about it. The 'poison' in poison bullet roughly translates in Pashto to the poison in a wasp or bee sting. So 7n6 hit more like a bee sting rather than your wicked mad tumbling magic bullet.Quote:

The BC on that little 53gr bullet is far higher than 55gr or 62gr ball ammo and its doing it at lower velocity and lower pressure(my suspensions were confirmed via doppler radar regression : https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...unition-Review. The problem with 5.45 is that it got left in the stone age of ammo development. You won't see super match grade bullets or barrier blind SPs. Ive since completely divested myself of the caliber since the ATF pretty much killed it stateside which is a shame since the caliber had so much potential.Quote:

The cannelure of the round was pretty interesting.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss plinking with it but aside from Wolf the only option is Hornady. It was far more respectable to 300 yds than the 7.62 AK round.
The only thing keeping me from messing with AKs anymore is the dearth of 5.45. The 5.56 AKs just have a few fleas and for the effort; I'd sooner hit the AR easy button.
I had a bunch of Silver Bear 5.45 OT which I must say was the better round. I sorta miss it, even with irons.
I agree the poison bullet deal is way overhyped though.
Op, as you’ve already been told about a million times, tumbling as a wounding mechanism is pure BS compared to modern soft points and all copper hollowpoints. In gelatin, bullets that require yaw to work (7n6) leave longer necks (suboptimal). Then the bullet exits the side of the block, demonstrating that it does not track straight (suboptimal).
Ever wonder why nobody offers a 5.56 bullet duplicating 7n6 ballistically? Its not like it uses some magic technology that isn’t reproducible. 7n6 has a similar sectional density as 55gr .224 projectiles. It has a similar ballistic coefficient and muzzle velocity as M855. In other words, a bullet designer can easily toss an air pocket in the front of a 55 grain .224 bullet and get the same BC, but more velocity, or get equal velocity and greater BC in a heavier bullet. But do we have LAPD SWAT, FBI HRT, or military SOF shooters begging for their R&D guys to come up with a 7n6 analogue? No, because they have much better ammo, most of which is available to civilian shooters.
If someone is forced to use FMJ, 7n6 works, but isn’t all that special. Its better than 7.62x39 ball in my opinion, and thats about as much as I’ll give you.
I really like 5.45 AKs, but there is nothing they do that an M4 loaded with good bullets can’t do equally well or better. AK74’s can have less recoil, thats about it. Most people that prattle on about 7n6 are AK fanboys with no formal training on the subject of gunshot wounds or ballistics. I would bet most of them have never even seen live tissue gsw’s in person, and if they have it was probably deer and pigs shot with a completely different caliber.
Compared to .308? You’ve got to be effing kidding us. Quit making a new thread every week asserting that 7n6 is special somehow, or bring some real evidence that it is. I don’t think you’ll find any. Put it to rest until then, please.
