When purchasing surplus ammo in 7.62x54 caliber; which load is usually the most fun to shoot? What about most accurate?Any preferences for country of origin?

ive shot just about everything out there from a varity of different rifles ,,i've shot 91/30's m-38's m-44" and type 53 chinese mosins,,the short barreled models have a real bark to them because of the short barrel,,the 91/30's are pretty tame ..the ammo seems to shoot as good as the shooter,,wolf ,,silver bear,,and the milsurp ammo all seemed to shoot well,,for the most funs to shoot ,,my 8 yr old grandson has a blast shooting the gallery low pressure ammo ,,i beleive they call it light ball,,i've shot so much of the 762x54 i can't remember the country that it was from..i beleive it was either bulgarian or romainian,,mind cramp,,old age whatever,,what rifle are ya shooting?if memory serves me right i beleive the heavy ball military load seemed the hardest in the kick factor,,but for the most part i really haven't seen much difference in the different ammo loads but we don't shoot in matches either ..lol..price wise i think there all pretty close in price

Shooting Polish m44(1952)when i get the chance /so far just cleaned it and looked upon it wistfully. Haven't shot it yet.Just it bought this week and anticipating the experience. How does the recoil compare to the AK?

well i'll be honest with you ,,to me the stocks on the ak are too short and when a stock isn't the right lenght for the person shooting it felt recoil is harder than a stock that fits you properly,,also th ak wasn't realy designed as a shoulder fire weapon it was designed to spray and pray,,that said you got a good rifle and one of the better ones to own..the polish is well made and holds there value of around 200-250..but all the 44's have a hellasis muzzel blast ,,recoil is mild but a little more than an ak but they are fun to shoot ,,i've got 2 44's and my 8yr old grandson likes his and doesn't complain about the recoil..
