Good day, what has been others experience with this ammo and it's accuracy out of an sks? My experience has been poor with an average group of about 4 inches at 50 meters. I can have 2 rounds next to each other , then the third 4 inches away. Flyers are quite common as well. Not sure if it's the ammo or rifle. (French tickler).

You should be able to get 2-3 MOA with an sks and any ammo, at best. It's not a precision rifle.

In my neck of the woods all the culling is done inside 100m often less. Realisticaly most hunter dont shoot outside of 100m of course some guys here might says they've done it but 3moa is still good enough to hit the vitals at that distance.
