Normal
I am pretty happy with 7.62 x 39. Sure it isn't a reach out and touch some one round. But it works for shorter range shooting. Still happy with my mosin nagant's 7.62 x 54r for longer range shooting. But I bought a lot of both ammo when it was cheap so that could baised my opinion. But it is more of personal choice than anything else. What calibers everyone has mentioned so far are good also.
