I use a ks-47 to hunt pigs.  10.5 in ch barrel suppressed.   It will randomly jam and is a dirty girl.  So dirty you have to clean out the mags and ammo you don’t shoot when done.  I can’t have it jamming up when I am on the ground with pigs.  I was wanting to try a brass Case new manufacture.  Not to concerned with price but I’m buying in bulk. Any thoughts.   My front runner is sgammo privi m67 2019 manufacture.   I’ve seen some others but know nothing about them. Thanks.

I would highly recommend Federal Fusion MSR if money is no object.

Much better terminal performance than a FMJ and has a bonded core bullet for deep penetration while still offering great expansion.

I would recommend ANY softpoint over a FMJ in hunting situations.

I wouldn't go as far as to recommend Hornady SST though.

The plastic tip causes too rapid expansion and not enough penetration in my opinion.

I haven't been able to find 7.62x39 fusion in stock anywhere. Got a line on some by chance?

Bought the M67 contract over run privi FMJ from sgammo.   I haven’t shot it yet but it looks great is is vacuume sealed.   If it shoots like it looks I’ll be very happy.

Only shot the older corrosive primed M67 and it's great ammo.  The modern M67 looks very tempting, but have not heard much about it.

Took it to the range.  Very happy with the new ammo.   I’m running a PSA ks47 10.5 inch with suppressor for pig hunting.  Using 20 year old wolf Non suppressed it would run just fine but get dirty fast.   Suppressed it seems to clog up after 1 mag.   The privi m67 brass cased military over run is very different. Almost no smoke very consistent feeding.  I didn’t have a thermal specific target but I was able to group around 2 moa at 100.  No failures of any type.

I have started buying some Norma brass cased rounds from normashooting.com.
