Gun and gear reviews Out with the yugo

First time out with m59/66..really liking it so far!

Seems a little more finicky with seating bullets.. had the odd jam.

This is with a hot barrel 300 rnds in..

2 groupings of 20 rnds (norinco 1964)

@120 yards

But it cycles fine!

I think the comments about the steel plate is because people assume its an AR500 steel gong. I got one and a 7,62 rnd doesnt even do anything, it just scratches the paint.

I have a ar500 gong and it does get some minor dents when placed at 100, farther then that it’s fine.

How thick is your gong? I’ve got a 1/4” one and don’t want to damage it with my steel core 7.62x39

I was shooting my caldwell 3/8 66% ipsc plate with a sks at 7 yards this weekend with old spam can ammo and all it did was chip off the powder coat
