My Romanian will keep ten in the mag and one in the hole. I store it with ten in the mag, but not cocked or chambered.....doesn't seem to hurt anything.
Has anyone noticed that Wolf 7.62 X 39 seems to have gotten more accurate and reliable and less stinky? I'm enjoying this SKS more now that I don't have to struggle for consistency and not pay premium prices for U.S. made ammo.
