Terrible 7.62X39 Ammo
Okay, not long ago I bought some 7.62X39 ammo to try out. The results with firing this ammo in two different SKS rifles (Albanian & Yugo 59/66A1) was really the s**ts. It's a good thing I didn't buy much. I bought it through Cabela's. The ammo is "Herter's. Alot of misfires and I noticed with the misfires that the primers on some of the bullets was not flush with the shell caseing. Those primers were a little deep as if the firing pin had pushed them in. After that experiance I switched over to some wolf and Fiocchi. Those two fed perfect and no misfire. There are three brands of ammo I normally use, Wolf for plinking and Fiocchi and PMC for accuracy. Those three are also clean burning and non-corrosive. Have any of you SKS'ers had any experiance with Herter's as I did?

Isn't Herter's Russian Import?...but their exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom. -
I have heard pretty good things about their brass but their steel cased stuff is crap.....but their exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.Comment

I've fired about 500 Herters (TULA) through my various SKS' and AK type rifles with no issues at all.
Same goes for the Herter .223 I have run through my AR. All said I have been satisfied with the Herters for blasting ammo.1A-2A=-1AComment

Watch out with that Yugo ammo, my brother took my SKS to the range shoot the Yugo ammo. Ofcourse never cleaned it, when I pulled the bolt out it seemed like it ate the metal. Very nasty corrosive stuff, but shoots great!Comment
