Anyone try Golden Tiger ammo from AimSurplus?

Has anyone fired this ammunition from Aimsurplus http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/A762x39Russ_Russian_7_62x39_Hollow_Point.html ? Considering the cost, I'm not expecting much, but is it around Wolf quality? How does it shoot in your SKS/AKM ?

I didn't purchase it from AIM, but I got 100 rounds of it to try at a gun show.

Very similar to Wolf, the casing was more greenish whereas the Wolf is grey, and there is a small, red, sealing band around where the bullet is seated in the casing.

I mixed it up with Wolf in my SKS and couldn't tell a difference. No failures. I give it thumbs up.

Welcome to THR, Bad_Mojo!



natedog, I haven't personally shot it, but I've heard nothing bad about it from those who do use it. FWIW, anyway.

I started to buy some with my current order. I wimped out and played it safe with the Silver Bear. I use it for the AK and the .223 for the AR.

Did anyone else see the new flyer with the Russian M38 for $49.97. WOW!!!! Had to have it. It's on the way with the K31. Happy tax refund to me.

I've run about 300 rounds through 2 different Yugo SKSs. No problems.

Well, the bullet isn't but you can pick up the casings with a magnet

The bullet is lead core but the jacket is magnetic. I just checked. Mark

Yeah, that's what Turner told me too. Too bad, they have it on sale this week.
