    I've got a CZ carbine in 7.62x39 and with the Hornady SST ammo (brass or steel case) it will shoot sub moa all day.
    But it hates most other ammo. PPU Soft point shoots ok but the last red deer I shot through the shoulder with PPU just needled through and the projectile didn't expand, that was at just over 100 yards verified by a range finder.
    still an awesome gun and a great caliber
