Thank, I have waiting for a video like this.
2526 velocity? Holy crap that is fast for a x39

There are a few more 7.62x39mm videos on my channel, if you're interested.

Alrighty, how bout a 55gr SP in .223/5.56 ?

 

[improperlyaged]

Yeah I just checked them out. Good job.

Mmmmmmm.... what's for desert?

I've noticed from two of your posts that you are reporting at least 100 fps higher than one would expect. I offer no conjecture, just that I have noticed this.

I do a single shot so it is entirely possible that those measurements were chronograph errors or anomalous loads. Tula isn't exactly known for consistency. In any case, I don't recommend anyone take my tests as anything more than entertaining general information. Professional tests include much larger sample sizes and controlled conditions.

Thats pretty impressive for cheapo ammo.

Based on my experiences I do not have any problem believing op's fps results. Thanks for sharing.

I would not hesitate to use that ammunition for social purposes.

Wow, that's a lot of zip. Much more than I would've expected from cheap blaster ammo and a 16" barrel.

If those readings are accurate, I'll probably have to go grab a few boxes.

As others mentioned, it could be an anomalous reading. Maybe we can get some confirmation from other users for that load.
