Based on your testing did you prefer the effects from the 123 or 154grn Tula SP?

I like the 123 gr better. It's also going to have a trajectory that more closely matches the graduations on Russian sights and some people have reported feeding problems with 154 gr.

Well, MrGunsngear won't gel test it, so I guess it's up to Arfcom!

Awesome, thanks FiremanFrank and bluefalcon.

Very interesting..... I've just put together a couple AR's in 7.62X39 .
One is quite accurate with Wolf 123 gr. H.P. and I recently bought a few hundred rounds of 154 gr. Tula S.P. just to test.

Thanks for your efforts!

Awesome!

I'm going to order up a case or two for the "Abomination" (7.62x39 AR)

Those Videos of terminal effects are very helpful for the 7.62x39 shooter!

What's more complicated is that it isn't enough to hit that point in two dimensions. The path of the bullet has to line up with the axis of the block in three dimensions. Then there is the fact that gelatin has to be kept at or very near 39°F to provide an accurate result. I'm already rushing to get tests done and run cameras at close range. That's why you often hear heavy breathing from me, not just because I'm a disgusting fatbody. Running 100 yards down range (which means down and up a wash at my range) with a 50 lb block of gelatin and then getting everything perfect for the ONE chance I'll have to get it right is not appealing. I probably will do longer range tests some day, just because so many people ask for that, but it's not nearly as simple as folks seem to think.  I have done a reduced load to simulate long range with .223 Rem but I don't have any 7.62x39mm dies. A friend does, though. I may talk him into doing some reduced loads. Same guy has an AK pistol that I've used in a few tests to give an approximation of ~100 yard results with a carbine.

A 10'x10' square tent from Amazon would be greatly helpful. They are durable and can be had for about $200 and will last a long time. I bought one this year for our beach trip instead of renting chairs and an umbrella for a week for more than the cost of the tent. The tent gave 70% more shade and significantly cooled the temps down underneath significantly. This might keep that block at 39* a good bit longer. I'd go with the color white for it's low light albedo!
