It's out there and there was a thread in another board where a Marine unit member found this special match ammo in the cases in Fallujah.....

I find it hard to believe that any Dragunov is capable of sub-MOA accuracy, regardless of the ammo.
If someone can produce a Dragunov that can consistently put 10 rounds under a MOA at 100 meters or more, rather than cherry picking a few lucky three round groups, I would be amazed. The tolerances are just too loose and the action not rigid enough, IMHO.
