Default RE: 7.62x39 Ak AMMO

I had a Saiga AK variant chambered in .223. It shot the Silver Bear 62gr. HP rounds quite accurately. It was accurate enough to justify a scope setup, and I have killed one nice buck and more coyotes than I care to count with it out to just past 100 yards. I ran some expensive .223 thru it once, with dismal results. Green box ammo was not much better. Wolf ammo has gotten downright nasty over the last couple of years, so I won't use it in anything anymore. All the 7.62x39 Saiga owners I talked to were very disappointed with their accuracy. The .223 and .308 versions were much better.
