[QUOTE="Rob72, post: 1079334, member: 707"] Lots of guys had woodies for the 7.62x39 when it was $1.50/20 rounds and .223 was $4.50/20. The gap has narrowed a good bit, tho' 7.62x39 is still about 1/2 the price(foreign-made, that is). In the carbine envelope, it is pretty darn good. The .223 has more accurate ammo available at a (comparatively) cheaper cost, but that is because US makers all offer loadings, and have put time into developing and mass-producing the round. 7.62x39 isn't "bad", but foreign loads are generally made to deliver the 2MOA mil-spec, not the =/<1MOA US "sport-shooters" have come to demand from .223.
