7.62X54R Ammo Comparison
Decided to test all the kinds of 7.62X54R I have. Test Conditions.
Rifle: 1944 VKT M39, iron sights
Range: 50 Yards, Temp 77, light breezes
Two groups of 5 each for ten total shots on target
First up, Czech Silvertip 147 grain. The two high shots were with an absolutely cold barrel, they came down after them.
Next up, Bulgarian Heavy Ball, don't remember how many grains the bullets were..yellow tips.
Then, Russian light ball, 147 grain.
Last of course, my reloads. JMS brass, 147 grain FMJBT's 49 grains of H4895, Win LR primers.
Wish I would have had a few more examples of milsurp ammo.

Looks pretty good. My 91/30 patterns like a shotgun with Hungarian heavy ball, tightens up with modern commercial ammo, and gets as accurate as my Enfields and Mauser with handloads using good brass.

Hey, I am hoping someone here can help me out. I just picked up an SVT 40, and I have tried to take it out, however It jams after the first shot. The gas system is set at 2 andI am using the Czech silver tip ammunition. I'm new to gas systems, so i dont know if i should adjust something or get different ammo... ideas or thoughts?
