Just purchased my first AK and am needing some guidance. My rifle, and RD702 from Rifle Dynamics, is currently being built. While I'm patiently waiting on that to happen I figured it would make sense to go ahead and get some additional mags, ammo, etc. so I could have some fun when it arrives. I didn't realize how dramatically different the AK world is.
I was able to snag some East German mags online and am waiting for them to arrive but I'm stuck on ammo.
Both of the ranges I am members of only allow brass cased, copper jacketed ammo (no bi-metal jackets, steel core, magnetic, blah blah blah). After doing some research, I'm having a devil of a time trying to track something down that will 100% work in an AK because virtually everything is steel cased.
I finally found a few options (slim pickings) and need some feedback on which would be my best choice (ie. accurate, consistant, works well in an AK, etc.):
1) Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics 7.62x39mm Ammo 124 Grain Full Metal Jacket
2) Prvi Partizan 7.62x39mm Ammo 123 Grain Full Metal Jacket (PP7.32 version)
The Fiocchi appears to be a good-to-go, safe option. However, I've read reports that it's severely underpowered and isn't the most accurate. The PPU appears to be extremely accurate but nowhere can I find out if it's a) corrosive or b) is NOT bi-metal or magnetic.
Anyone have any thoughts or have used these two rounds?
