**Before I ask please keep in mind I am still a newb when it comes to firearms.**
A friend and I both have bought a Century Arms PSL from Center Fire Systems on differnt days last week. We live not far so were lucky enought to just drive out there and pick it up. When I picked mine up they guy just made me fill out the paper work and sent me on my way. When my friend bought it a differnt guy said that he should not shoot any round above 150 GRAIN and that it would damage the gun. Now it may be the newb in me but I didnt think the grain of the round would matter. I have a Centry Arms Wasr-10 and it will eat anything faster than I can feed it and not have any issues. |

Your WASR is an AK that nominally shoots 123-125 grain bullets, it was made to shoot them all day long. Your PSL is a WASR "on steroids" a stamped metal, abeit more heavy duty receiver, longer barrel, different stock, but still, it's an AK. It was not meant to be pounded with 200 grain bullets. It was meant to shoot 147-150 grain ammo all day long. The
official "sniper" round being 147 grains. If you don't want your gun to "rattle" itself to death, I'd keep it within those guidelines. I do mine. Hope that helps. |
