"Golden Tiger?"

Greetings all. May the Great Spirit smile on this council fire and this far-flung, electric tribe.
Yes. shot it. Not much of it but it strongly seemed to be more consistent than the lacquered Wolf I shot the same day. It is my understanding that the FMJ is a M43 type boat tail and has the airspace in the nose and should have the same tendency to yaw on impact as the Wolf FMJ M43.

made by VYMPEL plant in AMURSK . russias' most modern ammoplant . which is why the reports of it being noticably more accurate than others .
the FMJBT bullet is similar to WOLFs FMJBT , with the airspace tip but they seem to put a nice basecrimp on it while wolfs is just tubular . into water this design @100M turns to 90deg by 4.5" after immersion and is sideways through and through . sometimes that close the bullet flattens , twists or can look unfired except for the soot smear , riflings and the occasional drop of lead hanging out its butt . @500M is sideways by 3.5" and sideways through and through .
the normal axis spin converts to radial spin if sufficient flesh/liquid substance exists at the RMS of the 4.5"/3.5" penetration range , at 90deg yaw , to cause lead flow within the jacket . if so , it flows into the hemisphere facing impact and the "space" migrates into the trailing hemisphere . if insufficient substance , it just continues to tumble to base first sometimes making two or more loops because its severly baseheavy .
this kind of bullet action doesnt make the huge wounds that fragmenting bullets do but , its action is utterly reliable at any realistic range and nearly as damaging as a fragmenting bullet to liquid filled internal organs hit directly .
the range this bullet and the good 762x39 softpoints give about the same damage is around 175M . after that range , the softpoints dont expand much but still penetrate point first while the Wolf/Vympel bullet is still 1.040" long and .31" wide unflattend .
premo shtf ammo :bow:

It's some good ammo. Wish I could get some more.

·I like the Golden Tiger more than any other cheap ammo Ive shot.
Ive shot it through my SKS and my AK's very accurate.
I never notice the "dirty" part but whatever.
I'd buy more but the only that sells it near me is $6.95 a box.
For that I shoots some old steele core I have laying around. :evil:
Buy it cheap stack it deep.

A buddy of mine bought a case of Golden Tiger at Knob Creek. We shot it all up and I didn't notice any difference in it and the Ulyanovsk I had been shooting. Seems to be good ammo, just like the Uly. I'd rate Uly and Golden Tiger well above Wolf though. I've seen a wide variety of quality control issues with Wolf. Buy the Golden Tiger with confidence.
