I'm new to AK pattern rifles, always cursed getting into a new caliber...but i picked up the IWI Galil Ace in 7.62x39 when classic sold them for $999. I know very little about them, and have been researching like crazy. I am aware that this rifle isnt exactly an AK....i get it, but its very similar. From what i have read steel cased ammo is great for AK's and the rifles are designed with steel cases in mind. I understand the basics between corrosive and non-corrosive, berdan and boxer primed, etc.
What i want is REAL experience and REAL knowledge. I want to know what ammo is best to stock up on. Best to me, is reliable that it goes bang every time and minute of man accurate out to 100 or 200 yards. Also, needs to be decent for longterm storage...5-10 years. Cheap is also very important. Teach me and tell me about your ammo experience, whats good and what would you buy. Id like to buy/trade for about 2000 rounds, for now, of good plinking ammo and something that if SHTF...i can rely on to handle threats, etc.
Please do not tell me what you have "heard" as im sure I've read the same and/or opposite viewpoint. I've heard golden tiger is notorious for having strong primers that can be overly hard to ignite...but i have no experience. Ive heard brown bear is a good in the middle, and tula/wolf can depend, etc. I want to know your experiences. I am very aware from other rifles, that some guns just do better with certain weights/brands etc. I want to try multiple brands/weights, etc. to test...but want to know what has worked for you.
Thanks guys...and if you have a good sample of several and want to trade send me a PM. I know this isnt the BST section, but thought I'd throw it in. I've got ammo, mags, and a couple pistols or rifles.
