Besides Romanian "322" and Russian factory "3," there is another Russian variant, packaged in red and yellow 30-round boxes, 59gr. FMJ boat-tailed non-corosive, marked with a factory logo for JSC Barnaul Machine-Tool Building Plant, sold by J&G Sales Ltd. Most definitely manufactured for export. I have heard many times that the Romanian rifles are fine tuned for the Romanian load, accomplished primarily by adjusting the size of the gas port hole. Whether this is the reason so many shooters find the romanian loads more accurate, I do not know. Tom, when are you gonna chrono these loads for us?
