Default Re: Can some help to ID some 7.62x39

Yes, I shot 50 rounds out of three different guns yesterday...stuff is hot and pretty darn accurate! The 3 guns used AK WASR-10, Saiga, SKS Sporter (AK Mag, 16" barrel). I couldn't believe that I was hearing impacts on steel plates I was shooting at with the SKS - at 200 YARDS! No hang-fires, FTF, or FTE.

Here some pictures of the ammo. The first two in the series are the box and headstamp...hopefully that will help ID it.

On a side note, one set of rounds showed signs of looks like over-pressure at the neck. Though, I didn't see it until I picked up the brass so I don't know which rifle it was. (Those are the second two in the series) Any thoughts there would be appreciated also!

TIA

Got any pics? Have you shot any? Is it really non-corrosive (sometimes dealers and such play the non & "mildly" corrosive game )
