Does anyone have any experience or comments about "Golden Tiger" brand ammo in 7.63x39?  ???

Very good stuff.  I was told the plant that makes Golden Tiger was the latest one built.  I get better groups with GT than with Wolf (black box) or China Sport.

Probably the best of the steel cased......

To usurp supreme & absolute authority...in a free state, and subject it to tyranny, the people must have already become corrupt by gradual steps. And all states necessarily come to this, unless...they are brought back by good laws to their first principles.

I swear by the stuff.

Its all new production, so no worries about it being corrosive, it has a boat-tail projectile, which makes for a stable trajectory.  This stuff shoots amazingly clean, as compared to WOLF, or Yugo surplus.  (one solvent patch, one bore brush, 3-4 dry patches, one oil patch, your done)

Most of the ammo suppliers recently received their latest shipments of GT, and its price has dropped back to a reasonable (yeah right) $250/1000.

Look at J&G Sales, and Ammoman.com- others have it as well.

My favorite as well.

My groups were about 25-30% tighter and a full 1 1/2" higher at 100 yds compared to Wolf Black Box

I've fired a couple hundred rounds and it shoots great!
Haven't tried any since I've learned to shoot(and hit), so I can't say anything about accuracy.

"Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves.  Sad alternative!  But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?" - George Washington - from a letter to a close friend after the events of April 19, 1775

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our (the United States) overthrow.  Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.  From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.  I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837

Unfortunately the panic is getting the bidders on gunbroker into the silly range. I decided on the yugo at ammunitiontogo for .28/rd (counting TX sales tax) on stripper clips. Ammotogo has also recently agreed to include AS info in their outgoing orders.

Does this mean what I think it means. What is it going to be, on of the "blow in" type fliers? Any samples?

And just so it is not a highjack, I have used Golden Tiger, no problems, shoots good.

B964,
Not sure exactly what info they're sending out. I was something that I spoke with the owners about and took to Scout. He was arranging for literature to be shipped to them.

+1 on Golden tiger. I have been shooting it out of an AK and a SKS for a while now.

It does group better than wolf and about as good as white box Winchester. (At least as well as I can group them.) One plus is that it is surprisingly clean compared to the cheap black boxed stuff but still dirtier than the Winchester. Oh, and I didn't find any loose spent primers in the AK's receiver after a bunch of mags like I had with my last case of wolf.

A good source for golden tiger when he has it in stock is John's Gun Shop, he usually has the best price and he ships fast. Here is a link to his ammo connection. http://www.ammo-connection.com/
