    Accuracy Check, Golden Tiger 7.62x39

    This is the 124gr FMJ. Lacquered case, sealed primer and bullet.

    16" AR with irons, 100 yards, 1.6"

    20" AR with 3X prism, 100 yards, 2.1"

    Followed target work with rock plinking out to about 575 yards. Works for me.

    Outstanding shooting for irons. Well done.

    I was kind of stunned myself on the irons beating the 3X optic, with me driving.

    I'm pushing 60, and cannot get a focused front sight anymore.

    Left - Tula 123gr
    Right - GT 124gr

    Both have 25.0 gr stick powder.

    I noticed the GT was flatter shooting at distance.

    Again well, done with irons. I’m pushing 60 too and would shoot a plate sized group if I tried to do that. I’m surprised the ammo did that well too.

    Thanks. I typically get 3 moa or so with the Tula. The GT seems a clear step up in accuracy, and longer distance drop.

    Golden Tiger is known to be amongst the best steel cased 7.62x39 ammo.

    This is great news as I just picked up a case of GT from SGAmmo. I don’t have a 762x39 AR, just the AKs. Good shooting.

    I ordered another 1K rounds also.

    Need to get an AK sometime, if Trump wins re-election, market should settle down for a couple years.

    You can still find the AK out there if you feel like hunting around. You will pay a premium though. I bought a WASR-10 years ago, front sight canted and all for way too much. Shoots fine and is accurate enough. I have 2 Polish AKs with no dak spud receivers, I got them from a dude over on the AK forum. I also have an old Norinco NHM-91 that was a post ban rifle. It’s in pieces as I am trying to get better wood furniture for it. No idea what the Arsenal AKs are going for now, if you can find one. Good luck!
