Very interesting test, thanks for taking the time to do it and share the video.

With all the interest in .300 ACC and other rounds using .308" bullets and producing similar velocity as the x39 with 125 gr bullets it is great to see some of the cheap ammo does pretty well. I was thinking of getting a .243 or .260 bolt rifle for family members that are recoil shy, but now I am thinking maybe a CZ bolt action in 7.62x39. It would be able to shoot cheap practice ammo of which I have a boatload. And with handloading I could use good bullets for hunting.

I would like to see a lot more testing of various bullets in the x39. How about some of that Russian 150 gr SP ammo? Handloaded with 125 gr and 150 gr SP?
