[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1656843, member: 2736"] Any cartridge can be accurate if placed in the right format and fed good ammo. The 762x39 has always been plagued with poor bullets, poor cases, poor factory loading's and poor rifles for accuracy (The AK's). so it's not surprising that they have/had a bad reputation for accuracy. velocity was also another factor with the long range crowd but the sub sonic bunch found it to be good for what they wanted. It still has more power than the 223 by a couple of hundred ft/lbs and with the right bullet can be used for hunting at limited range. I don't own one anymore and use mine for fun at the range like everyone else. Always thought about a bolt gun but never got around to building one. No surprise that they can be built for accuracy with everything done right. and it has its place for certain game. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
