Thread: Military Surplus

Talking 7.62x39 in my sks, I've had tula hallow-tips primers failing to detonate, about 1 in 10 rounds would fail. I have found the czech tracers (gun city) perform admirably. And yes the FMJ tracers will kill game effectively, look up ballistic wound profiles.

7.62x54 181gr FMJ yugo steel core surplus (and I assume most 7.62nato surplus), shooting steel-core/FMJ will punch holes right through your animal, only good if you have shot placement.

If you set fire to the countryside with tracer you better have good insurance , for this reason it is prohibited on most if not all club ranges in NZ

It is doubt full that filing too much off a tip will leave the jacket in the barrel , many have deliberatly tried to do this and have had to take the entire tip off to get a result , still it is up to you . Forster make a hollow point attachment that fits their case trimmer .
