This is for an AKM. It was (as I am told) made from an unfired surplus Romanian kit and is not a WASR. I have not slugged the bore but accuracy is generally poor with .308" bullets. It shoots all the cheapo Russian stuff very well. The .310" Hornady bullet works reasonably well with H335. I had high hopes for the Speer 123 gr. Hot-Cor but accuracy is horrific no matter what powder I use. Barnes makes two .310" X bullets but they are expensive, though I am on the verge of buying a box to try. I was thinking of getting a box of Sierra .311"' 150 gr. Pro-Hunter SPT. They are somewhat cheap and the 150 gr. bullet should hold up well at the relatively low velocity when the bullet hits meat. I would like to use this for an upcoming boar hunt where the ranges are expected to be very close in thick cover.
