jacksmad1 2 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Went to the range yesterday since it was around 72 degrees. Winds were light and variable. I tried 3 more brands of ammo in my 16" Saiga 308. Rifle has been converted with a G2 FCG. Used front and rear bag shooting rests for all targets. All shots taken from 100 yards. I have a Tasco 2.5-10X Mil-Dot Varmint Scope mounted on a UTG Leapers quick detach side scope mount. And yes it does hold zero when you detach and re-attach the scope for cleaning. Shot several rounds of Brown Bear through the barrel just to warm it up some. Three rounds of target shooting of 5 rounds each. 1 shot approximately every 10 seconds. Between rounds I would walk down and replace the target. Targets were shot in this order: 1. Patrone 150 gr FMJ headstamp MEN92J0001, German 2. Tulammo 150 gr FMJ Black Box headstamp Tulammo 308 WIN, Lot J-104-10 3. Brown Bear 145 gr FMJ My 16" Saiga seems to prefer the TulAmmo. I just placed an order for more....

brokenfeather 2 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 TulAmmo deadly !!!!!! for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Good write-up! Tula does pretty well for me too. I think "Patrone" is German for "Cartridge". Was it surplus German stuff? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkov 318 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Guess I need to try tula (been using german surplus, 147 grain, probably the same stuff) Tried the south african stuff? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Notice is says MEN92J0001. MEN is the maker, 92 is the year, J0001 is month/time or batch lot. MEN stands for Metallwerk Elisenhütte G.m.b.H (from what I can find in ten seconds on google) DAG stands for Dynamit Noble (again only a quick google search) Its German made Nato spec 7.62x51mm ammo. Patrone is cartridge or shell. But with how its written on the boxes I can totally see everyone assuming that it's a maker name. Figured you may find it interesting.

Yes it was the German surplus in the 200 round battle packs from Aim Surplus. Had no idea what Patrone meant.....I have enough trouble with english.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have never tried the South African surplus, but would be glad to do a test and write up if someone would ship me some..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
