Range report

[Swede66]

Hi!

Just back from the local range after about 2 hours of shooting despite rain and cold winds.

My gun had a strange trigger pull. The previous owner did some "bubba-work" on it and it was NOT good. So I mounted a new hammer wich now gave me a harder trigger pull but more clean.

Started shooting at 220 yards from a bench. Trying out 3 types of ammo and if they changed hitting point. Also tried different rest points on the hand guard to se if the bullets hitted the target different.

When I had the rest in front of the vertical grip the hitting point at 220 yards was 4 inches higher than if I used the lower tip of the vertical grip as support. Must be the relative thin barrel that is to blaim about that!

The military 62 gr bullet went 3 inches lower at 220 yards than 2 types of 55 gr civilian made ammo.

I use the gun for IPSC shooting so this is important info. for me...

Just want to bragg a bit...:rifleman In kneeling position, 220 yards, I managed to hit 5 rounds quite tight - se picture. Just love that rifle.

Regards

Whats the twist rate on that AK5 barrel?

If its 1in12 like a FNC, stay away from 62grn

It is 1/8 or 1/7 just because it need to handle heavier bullets. So 62 gr works good.

Thanks! Those targets is military issue here in Sweden. We call them "Ivan"...guess why? :bequiet

As far as I know are they not sold to civilians. The army here has been using them for 40 years or more...

Used the same target today with my 45B (Swedish K). Shot that group at 100 meters.
