Its not uncommon to find that chinese AKM makes 8 inch group if shoot from 150 metres (even with decent ammo). On the other hand skilled rifleman can shoot 100 with ten rounds if they use M-62 or serbian AK.
Best AK series weapons are made in serbia, finland in russia. Worst carbines come from china. Some bulgarian AKs are fine and some are quite worthles.
Most soviet (and russian) units dont train their privates to shoot targeted single shots. Most men were trained to run behind some BMP or BTR and use sustained fire same time when they were moving. They dont even zero their weapons! In russian company captain zeroes the AK:s after three best shooters have fired them! (Yes you can forget any accurate firing...)
With decent AKM and with quality ammunition you should have no problem hitting targets to 200 metres.

Ah a Finn. You guys have those fancy Valmet's and Sako's. Those are in a different league, but AK's no don't. With training like you described, I guess that's why you shot the shit out of the Russians in 1939. It helps that the Valmet M62 is made with a milled receiver and a non chrome lined barrel too. As far as the 7.62x39 though it's just not a good ballistic caliber for range or accuracy. The type of Ak you use will help maybe, but it's like a fat kid on the run. If he runs into you, your on your ass, but he has make the distance first.
