7.62x39 corrosive surplus/VZ58

[midnightpossum]

I am seeking a recommendation on corrosive ammo.. specifically to be used in the VZ58 platform.

Are all the offerings available to Canadians have the same accuracy?... Yes I know these are inherently not very accurate to begin with, however does the VZ58 tend to prefer one.. or really dislike one more then the other.

Thanks your your time and thoughts.

look for the best deal, difference between surplus is negligible at best

The Bulgarian seems to be better than the Chinese. Smells better and shoots more consistent

Are both of the above mentioned ammo copper washed, or lacquer coated?

 

[VancouverS4]

Bulgarian is laquered.

My vz58 and cz858 have shot all the nasty commie ammo I can find without issue.

My chinese ammo is copper washed. I'll fit 10 rounds in a standard "post it note" at 100m. Accurate enough for me. Also, I kept a bunch of empty casings to leave to rust in the basement, and the chinese copper washed didnt rust as fast and as much as other x39. Now, take that experiment for what its worth, its not scientific

Hard to beat the Czech surplus.

Yep, Czech rifle and Czech ammo. Whodathunkit?

Years ago I had a crate of Czech ammo.. maybe it was just this particular batch, however there was lots of particles and debris ejecting into my face.Have not experienced this with other surplus ammo.
