What commercial x39 does your CSA vz58 prefer?

[BeaverMeat]

As the title implicates. What new production bulk commercial 7.62x39 ammo does your CSA like? Be it a from a chrome or non-chromed barrel.

Of interest to me is a comparison between Barnaul, MFS, LCW, TulaAmmo, and Wolf.

Both of my CSAs prefer excessive Barnaul... But excel with PPU, Fiocchi, and Hornady (accurate, but a tad under-loaded)

Well... I find DA works best. May not be the finest quality, but Ive never had any issues yet.

Prvi brass 127 gr . Best ammo I ever ran is czech surplus

Barnaul does very well in mine also. The most accurate for mine has been Norinco 2014 steel bullet stuff from Canada Ammo. It groups really well.!!

DA works great. Over 2000+ rounds not a single problem.

I don't really see any appreciable difference between any of the surplus ammo I have tried. The Czech stuff really does seem to shoot well though. I had a bunch of Wolf HP's that shot extremely well.

Best group so far was with american eagle fmj. but i haven't done much accuracy testing. just function, and it eats everything.

I agree with that in mine too.

Although I have an FSN VZ58, it shot everything I put into it. Only time it malfunctioned on me was when I was shooting really filthy surplus corrosive ammo. It literally was spraying black soot in my face. The next round wouldn't go inside the chamber as the soot was building up. Took it home and cleaned it. It shot the same ammo very well the next outing - just got it dirty faster than normal. Stopped buying corrosive ammo after that.

The Norinco non-corrosive ammo from Canada Ammo has been excellent. Love that stuff.

Wondering if BFiles sees any difference in his FSN and CSA in the way of ammo that each likes? My CZ and FSN ate pretty well anything, never had a CSA VZ58.
