New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

[LRRPF52]

PKM averages about 2700fps with 147.8gr 7.62x54R light ball steel core USSR 1986. G1 BC is .325

The SVD with Russian 1997 7.62x54r 152 gr. "7N1" Sniper load, .498 G1 BC is a different animal. 2723fps from SVD, and 2657fps from SVDS.

This is why I like the 130gr cup and core bullets with BC's in the mid 5's, but I could almost care less about US Army Caliber Configurations at this point.
