FYI for those wondering, I tried this ammo in a few of my rifles and it doesn't have enough juice to cycle the semis. Tried it in an SKS, Rasheed, Type 81, and VZ 52/57, and it would just barely open the bolt of the SKS and T81, but wouldn't even unlock the other two.

Is it quiet though?

So this should work for manual action 7.62x39 mm builds of the SBI LPC and MRA Renegade, and in the 7.62x39 mm BCL Bison when that appears?
 
Should work excellent in my CZ 527...just not sure what I should use it for. Can't use a can. Can't use it for deer. Why should I buy this ? Would accuracy be better than Barnaul 123gr ?
At 196gr it's heavy. Does not sound like a varmint round. Now don't get me wrong...I buy all manner of guns and calibers and things I might not need. soooo what does a person use this exact round for ?

I think its a "rainny day" bulllet.

Would be intresting to mod an sks gas system to cycle this.

have you tried gas setting #2 on your 81?
 
I would be interested in the accuracy. I once reloaded number of 7.62x39 subsonic loads with 220 gr .311 bullets and trailboss. They were 3 MOA @ 100 yards out of a CZ 527.
