Have you tried American Eagle 7.62x39 in you Red Rifle?

[quorum]

I've heard it said that American 7.62 is really 308 diameter not 311 like the Russian stuff. But what are the range reports of American Eagle 7.62x39 Soviet in red rifles? Anyone tried this ammo and how accurate is it?

Thanks!!!!!!

I haven't heard that but if I get ambitious tomorrow maybe il check with my caliper, I have a couple boxes of it here I can try.

I just miked mine and they all seem to be .308-.309, but I didn't pull them from the case. I measured at the cannelure, just above the case mouth.

Ran a box through my Chinese SKS last year - decent performance but I still prefer my Hornady rounds...
