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).

A good example, I get about 2.5-3moa out of it in my CZ600 Alpha, but with decent brass cased it'll do 1moa or less. It's the ammo, but the SKS also just isn't that accurate (which is why I've always found it funny in its "protected" status as an indigenous hunting rifle, it's not a very good hunting rifle).

My SKS will do 3-5moa with brass or steel cased. Doesn't make much difference in it.
