It does not seem that the steel cased Russian Ammo gives up much to my Brass handloads. Fiocchi factory ammo was not noticeably better than the steel cased ammo.
Next I will try some 174 grain Sierra Match to see how the heavier bullet does.

Casefull,
Was not my intention to hijack your post as a matter of fact I ordered the same rifle. I just exposed the reasons the took to take that road.
Glad you are happy (meaning I provably made the right choice.)
Btw nice shooting at 100 yards.

Casefull: truly excellent.
Imagine if all AKs had the side mounts for a rail and "AR-styled" red dot etc sighting system.
AR and AK owners would then have a somewhat valid comparison between the totally different types of rifles, especially the AK-74 using the 5.45 rounds.
silvermane_1: If you've watched Rob Ski on AKOU, you might have seen the very premature internal wear on the US-made Century RAS, and one of the IO AKs he tested. IO even shutdown their AK production line for a while due to so many problems.
Nobody besides AKOU seems to shoot 2,500-5,000 rds. in such guns while periodically checking bolt lugs, trunnions etc, showing us the visible results. Headspace is checked.
The PSA is one of the US brands I would trust.

I wish my eyes were still that good. The rifle has an inexpensive 4 x 12 vortex scope with a side mount Picatinny rail. I don't believe there's anyway to put a good solid mount on an AK rifle. I only put a scope on it to see what the rifle would do accuracy wise, my original intentions were to take it back to just open sites. The darn thing is so accurate I'm thinking about keeping the scope on it and shooting gophers with it.
