FTE / Hard extraction with AKM

[snayperskaya]

I have a .223 Saiga and fire all sorts of laquered steel cases, barnaul and hornady, and have no problems at all, even when rapid firing and it gets hot, the only time when its slightly harder is using RG 5.56 surplus ammo?

Whats the 223 Barnaul like?, I stuck some of their 54r through the Dragunov and it was awful!.I couldn't get a decent group with it and PPU was as bad.....

I think we could do with some AK pics posting as there are a few on this forum now

The .223 barnaul is not too bad, groups ok, but I found the best ammo in my Saiga is GGG ammo, which groups better, I think the GGG is a 62g bullet, but I've never had any extraction problems with anything really apart from the RG which I mentioned earlier
