So I just picked up one, the caliber is pretty new in this platform. Apparently Ruger had so many requests they had to buckle and start pumping them out. Does anyone have one? I'm trying to find out what flavor it likes the most.

In for the results. In testing my Howa the American might be slightly more consistent but lacks in the group department. Wolf is king. Tula sucks. Hornady decent. Remington was minute of paper. 7 animals between wolf 124 HP military classic and WPA 125sp. Not one moved. Other than wanting to test the 140bthp hornady Black from the creed I'm only using 7.62x39 for a second year. Under 250 I'm sold on .22 a round, guess I'm cheap.

Okay so the top three groups in the Ruger American Ranch 7.62x39 are as follows-
PPU 122 gr PSP 1.25" @100
Golden Bear 122 FMJ brass 1"@100
And Strangely Wolf 123 HP .5" @100
Everything else was 1.75" or greater
Every group was a 10 shot group with 1 minute pause in between each shot with bolt open and ten minute cool pause between loads.
