Ammo preferrences for an AK-47

[R2Chief2]

I'm new to AKs and haven't been able to find much ammo.

What I have been able to find has been mostly Tulammo and Wolf.
Now I've heard the AKs will just eat them up with no problems but wanted to get some more first hand feedback.

Are there brands that are preferred?
Is there a difference between the steel cased like Tulammo and Wolf?
Are there brands to avoid?
Is brass even necessary for an AK if you don't intend to reload?

Thanks!

Its a AK. Buy the cheapest shit you can find and that it will shoot

I've never noticed any real difference in any of the steel cased stuff. I stocked up on Golden Tiger when I found it on sale for a good price. I like the fact that it is sealed on both ends. Otherwise , buy what ever is cheapest.

This^. They are not picky eaters (like me)

Mine prefered FMJ over JHP until I had Bert at BP Tactical go through it and give it some love. Now it will shoot anything I can put in the mag.

my Ak's have shot everything I have tried through them. I personally like Wolf but I can't say it performs any better or worse. In this day any ammo is good so if you can get it I would shoot that. I did see an AK once that did not like hollow point ammo but that's the only time every other AK I have ever owned or shot ran them fine.

Mine run great with 122-154gr,sp,hp and FMJ.

Honestly shoot whatever you can get your hands on.

Thanks for the Feedback guys!

I got my hands on 1000 rounds of Wolf today for $379 out the door.
I know that's not the greatest price, but since I only had about 600 rounds before that, I had to get it since I just picked up a second AK.

yugo m67 is the most accurate for mine and i also like golden tiger since its true lacquer and sealed mil spec, also golden tiger is fmjbt not just fmj so that might lend to slightly better accuracy at range

I also have had no problem feeding the beast whatever I could get my hands on. Wolf, tulammo, Romanian hot shot, russian surplus, the list goes on and on
