Which FMJ ammo gives you the best accuracy in your XCR?
I am beginning a new round of evaluation since the Bill Springfield trigger job.
So far for me:
S&B 55gn FMJ ~ very accurate but leaves brass residue on breech and will occasionally wrap piece of brass around very tip of FP and lodge in FP hole. It may be to a harder primer although I have not had any failures. I have had this also happen on my SKS. Now that I think of if my SKS had a Kiviiri trigger job and is too light to shoot Wolf ~ so maybe that isn't it. I was impressed with the accuracy.
Barsunal 62gn SP ~ Not accurate at all. So I nabbed a case for around $200 ~ what do you expect? It shoots fine. I have had couple rounds deform the lead soft point on feeding and FTF. The steel case ~ not fond of them but otherwise no issues.
I will be re-evaluating the rest of my ammo:
Fiocchi 55 FMJ
Rem UMC 55
Black Hills Red Box 55 FMJ
Igman 62gn FMJ
Aguilar 55gn FMJ
Unknown 62gn Green Tip
Priv Parizian 55gn FMJ
Anyone esle with a pref on 55 or 62?
I'll update as I shoot some more
