The best I did on military stuff was about 15c a round on some Argentine but I did get some of that "China Sport" copper washed steel case for around 9c but you get what you pay for. That is really appropriate for shooting beer cans or such but it seems pretty inconsistent in the casual shooting I have done with it. I bet a group of 7" at 100yds might not be a bad guess. I don't know. I've most of my "chi-com" is military ball, and in the steel casing and it's been a while, but now my curiosity is up. I'll have to grab an SKS and bench it and see what pattern it will do at 200 yd. I think it groups tighter than that, but I'll do that when the weather clears up a bit. |

I'll have to grab an SKS and bench it and see what pattern it will do at 200 yd. I think it groups tighter than that, but I'll do that when the weather clears up a bit. It's kind of a giggle to see that "conservatives" are buying Commie firearms and Commie ammo. -- Palin & Bachmann in 2012 - All Stupidity All the Time LOL!
