I shot a four shot 0.435 inch group at 100 yards in high wind with my Radical Arms 7.62 x 39 mm upper on my AR-15. I was using hand loads with 123 grain Z-MAX bullets. I used Federal Gold Metal Match Large Rifle primers and Accurate 1680 powder with PPU cases. The Vortex Diamondback 4x12 BDC scope is a great value. I am looking forward to trying out these loads in my Century Arms AK-47 too. Hornady bullets significantly improves accuracy for 7.62 x 39mm loads. Much better accuracy than the Wolf ammo ~2 inches@ 100 yards. I use the Case Prep Trio tool which improves accuracy. I have used Hornady bullets for over 40 years started out loading 220 Swift.
