Never heard of such a thing, seems awful heavy for that cartridge, no?

From what I remember this was loaded up for hunting, the stuff was rumored in reviews to keyhole. I never shot the stuff but thats what I have read.

the softpoint ammo has a problem when going into the chamber (it catches on the ramp as it goes into the chamber and will nick the point). the ak is not user friendly for soft point ammo. i radiused the ramp and polished it on an ak i had ( sold it) and this solved the problem.

I've got some of that and if it chambers it shoots fine. My AK will occasionally hang up feeding it and deform the tip, but the SKS eats it pretty well. It shoots well enough that I could hunt with it and kill something if I hunted, but for me it would have to feed better. It may work better for others though.
