. We are talking Czech ammo which is sort of untypical of M43 as it has a leaded gap between the copper and the large steel core

Action-shooter said:really.. what distance are you shooting at and what type of steel are you shooting at ? Weird is this Czech surplus?.. I have yet to do the official test myself with pictures... I just am curious as to why other people ( like me) report Czech wizzing through those steel gongs at 68.58m, as I have seen this happen on a number of occaisions.. I am also wondering if some batches of ammo are loaded a bit hotter than others... could this be a possibility? True, Czech has low velocity 2200fps-2300fps. hmm now you have me wondering if what I saw is possibly an ammo mixup (norinco in a Czech box) or just a hotter batch of Czech.. :?: :?: :? :? :?: Tommorrow is the big day. We will see soon enough.
