I use a mix of handloads, commerical OTS stuff, and mil surp. I've also got some 7N1 stuff back when it was available for $150/crate.
My handloads are in once-fired Win brass w/CCI LR primers sitting on 46 grains of Vihtivouri N140 powder (when I can find it, I'm currently out) and .312 diameter Hornady SP bullets.
Interestingly, the handloads outperform the Russian 7N1 in terms of accuracy.
I've got a case of the 7N1 that I picked up for about $250. Haven't opened it. I want to get to the point where I'm a better shot before I start using it.
I wound up with a case and a half. One can I opened to shoot and see how well it performed. The remaining 880 rd case is still sealed in its wooden shipping crate.
I must say that the performance of my handloads over the Soviet match ammo was quite surprising. .5" @ 100 yds w/handloads vs 2.5" at 100 yds w/7N1.
I am a politically incorrect gun owner who likes to shoot, read, watch the boob tube, and generally tinker around the house.
While I live in Rapid City, my heart will always be in Wyoming, the place of my birth and where much of my family still live.
Football and racing are a staple around here, with the Denver Broncos and Dale Earnhardt (Sr. and Jr.) enjoying places of honor around the house.

Nice. My BAG day purchase was ammo that my cousin and I bought a few weeks ago. :)
Speaking of. What do you use in your Tiger?
I use the Wolf 148 gr.
