I've got a bunch of 7n6, but I'm looking for some cheap decent blasting ammo, that's non-corrosive.
Looking at SG ammo, etc, for 500-1000 rounds http://www.sgammo.com/catalog/rifle-ammo-sale/545x39-ammo what do you guys like ? this will be for my old ROMAK

I typically shoot silver bear but the golden tiger has been good in the past but I have not heard about this batch.

Golden Tiger is supposed to be the closest in velocity as 7n6
I can tell you that the Wolf 5.45 is way under powered. |

I bought two cases of the Golden Tiger. GT in 7.62x39 has been my go-to ammo for a decade now. Good stuff. If this 5.45 shoots that well, I will be very pleased.
I shot some Wolf Military out of my SLR104-FR, and it worked fine. 100% function. I didn't shoot for groups, so I can't say if it was the same as 7n6 or not, but I imagine it wasn't. |

Sort of depends on what I'm doing. For short to somewhat mid range (up to 100, maybe 150yds) Tula goes bang every time. However, where holdovers and such become critical GT is great.

Shot some of the New Golden Tiger last weekend, worked great, but, it is very nasty. I am still cleaning my rifle. 100 rounds fired, and this is dirty stuff. Anyone else see this

I had a ton of the Ulyanovsk 70 gr stuff that was around back in the day that was more accurate than any other load out of either of my 74s. I sold the last of it a year or two ago when I sold my AKs off.
ETA: not my pic but it was this stuff.

Any word on how the stuff came on the chrony?
I've been mainly shooting the wolf lacquer and sealant stuff out of my 74s since the 7n6 ban, but have meaning to pick up some Golden Tiger. It's been my go to 7.62x39 ammo for a while now, so I'm interested in trying their 5.45. |

Have not bought in a while, but Hornady Steel Match 5.45 is my favorite.
Should probably buy some more soon. |

Thanks for the results, looking to get some blasting ammo also. 7n6 is great but tired of cleaning.
