I had my k98 mauser, a sandbag, stock iron sights, and a 100 meter target.
I conducted a test using hotshot, wolf gold, prvi partisan, romanian surplus, and the M75 yugo sniper ammo.
When I opened up the boxes, the wold gold, hot shot, and prvi partisan seemed to all be the exact same ammo just in a different box. Had the same head stamp and were in a cheesy card board box with a different logo on it. I was surprised to see they all did not shoot the same. The wolf gold shot much better than the prvi partisan or the hot shot. They all claimed to have a 196grn SP BT bullet. I was happy that the commercial ammo actually shot to the point of aim, and I did not have to aim 2 ft low at 100 yards like I do with surplus ammo. This was the first time this rifle has seen commercial ammo that I know of.
I was also surprised the M75 sniper ammo really didn't shoot that good at all, the romanian surplus shot better than the so called sniper ammo.
These results may just be specific to my rifle, but here are the results.

Looks like it likes the Wolf Gold best. Not too bad on price, and its relaodable brass, which is a plus.Not if you dont relaod I suppose, but I'd keep it, and you could always sell it here for a few bucks when yu get enough saved up, so that helps diffray the cost a bit, which is always nice with the way ammo prices are.
