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.

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?
