How is that ammo?

I didn't click on the link, but you should only shoot ammo below 160 grains, or you will batter the PSL to death.

[brantly04]

149 gr.

and

147 gr.


the 149 is cheaper by a little over $15

Buy the first, from Widners.
Cause the second is from Cheaper Than Dirt and they suck.
AIM is usually good for x54r as well.

I have had nothing but GOOD experiences with cheaper than dirt with ammo, but wideners is cheaper....so i'll take it from them.

[brantly04]

OK,



maybe not,


shipping is $30?? from Wideners

both corrosive, but nothing to scare you out of buying it. dont drop it in the barrel one by one, feed from magazine only, trust me

AIM has Romanian 7.62x54 for $72 a spam can...Good stuff. I have shot everything readily available for a PSL (yes even Yugo brass HB) even the overrated 7N1 which I still have several hundred rounds of.

The most accurate was Wolf Gold Brass...Good luck finding a bunch. If you want accurate and cheap, then get Bulgy but I have not seen much of it around any more and I have once case left of it. Last is Russian which is good as well but seems to yield one erratic shot per 10 fired (barrel cooling could be culprit but not after doing this for 4 years with my PSL. Avoid Albanian...Last batch I got was all over the place. Not a foot off but off but compared to the other bullets I have tried for the PSL it is the most hit or miss. I have 2 and 1/3 spam cans left and the last batch I bought was crap the previous which I bought in WA was pretty good though thus I was surprised. Call AIM they will ship to CA as long as you are not in a county that prohibits it. I get my stuff shipped to my place in Santa Barbara or Irvine...However, I cannot have anything shipped to my home in NorCal due to changes in Alamedas laws apparently.

Good luck.

Just stick to the lighter grain bullets or you will destroy your rear trunnion from what I've heard
