7.62x39 Ammo
7.62x39 ammo is an intermediate rifle cartridge closely associated with the famously reliable SKS and AK-47 rifles that use it, this caliber is one of the most popular in the world despite its replacement in Russia by the 5.45x39mm in the 1970s. The first gun chambered for this cartridge, however, was actually the RPD light machine gun.
7.62x39mm ammo fires a 122 or 123 grain full metal jacket bullet at about 2,300 feet per second. These specifications produce excellent results at close to medium range while generating manageable levels of recoil.
Most 7.62x39mm ammo available in the US is imported from Russia; brand names to look for include Tula, Wolf, and Barnaul's Bear series. All three of those manufacturers offer cheap bulk 7.62x39 ammo that'll have your AK asking for more. Today's Russian-produced rounds are typically non-corrosive but steel-cased and non-reloadable. Shooters looking for a brass-cased load should check out Fiocchi, PMC, or Prvi Partizan's offerings for sale which offer reloadable cases for precise loading at your convenience.

Sterling 7.62x39 123 Grain FMJ – 1000 Rounds
$497.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Sterling Condition New Bullet Weight 123 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Steel Quantity 1000 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Primer Type Berdan Magnetic Yes UPC Barcode 8698779967604 Cost Per Round 49.8¢ per round Forget about silver. Give up on gold. Throw all your platinum bars in the trash right where they belong. For our money, the best metal you can invest in is lead – preferably in the form of 7.62x39 ammunition!
This is the budget-friendly steel-cased 7.62x39 ammunition all your friends have been telling you about. A steel case’s rigidity means that it permits more fouling to enter the firearm’s action, and it is also not able to be reloaded. But if you’re just trying to save a little moolah, then you’ll truly appreciate a case that doesn’t contain any pricey copper.
This round’s noncorrosive primer and clean-burning double base propellant spark up to accelerate its 123 grain projectile to a muzzle velocity of 2,362 fps. The full metal jacket bullet’s bi-metal jacket does contain steel and will attract a magnet, which only means some commercial ranges prohibit this ammo on their premises.
Sterling isn’t a Russian company. They are a Turkish company whose products are currently exported to more than 70 countries worldwide. -

That hurts all the AK enthusiasts who are trying to limit their spending on ammo, but we’re sure that thought never occurred to the powers that be.
But here’s the neat thing: Russia isn’t the only country that makes steel-cased magnetic 7.62x39 ammo. Azerbaijan, a country we know nothing about, is also in on that action – and here is your chance to fire their ammo.
This ammo is loaded with 124 grain FMJs. Each bullet has a normal lead core. Instead of brass, its core is jacketed in bimetal: almost 100% steel, with a wafer thin copper exterior. The bullet’s case is similarly designed without copper. Instead of brass, it’s steel.
This ammo’s bimetal jackets will attract a magnet. It is banned from many ranges for that reason. This ammo’s cases are not reloadable. AKs are famous for liking steel cases, however, so there’s no great disadvantage to them if don’t handload. And while this ammo is loaded with Berdan primers, it is most assuredly noncorrosive.Customer Reviews

Igman is a Bosnian ammo manufacturer that has been in the game since 1950. Don’t confuse the two!
Igman’s 7.62x39 ammunition is a step above what you’re accustomed to if you’ve only ever fired Wolf or Tula’s Russian-made ammo. Each round in this case of 56 boxes is decked out with a virgin brass case, which means you can expect overall cleaner performance. Better yet, Igman loads the Boxer primers brass-cased ammo needs in order to be reloaded! This new production ammo’s primers cannot deposit corrosive residue in your firearm’s barrel, and they’re sealed for added protection against humidity in storage.
If you are familiar with Wolf and Tula, then you know their bi-metal jacketed bullets contain steel, will attract a magnet, and are forbidden at many commercial ranges. Igman’s 123 grain full metal jacket bullets do not share this problem. These lead-core bullets’ jackets are made of tombac – a hard alloy of copper and zinc – which leaves them wholly incapable of attracting a magnet. Great for all ranges!Customer Reviews

Belom 7.62x39 123 Grain FMJ – 480 Rounds

Belom is headquartered in Serbia, and was founded to better supply their nation’s armed forces as well as contribute to the local economy. In just a few years Belom has become internationally recognized for making dependable small arms ammo!
This 7.62x39 cartridge makes a swell pal to any AK-47 or SKS rifle. Its 123 grain bullet is an FMJ, with a hard lead/antimony alloy core and copper/zinc alloy jacket. The 90 percent copper jacket is hard enough to feed reliably and prevent accuracy-harming deformation under extreme pressure. It is also devoid of steel and therefore compliant with indoor ranges that ban the use of magnetic ammo.
This round’s case is made of pure brass and outfitted with a non-corrosive Boxer primer. It fires even cleaner courtesy of Belom’s proprietary double base propellant blend, so you’ll be able to spend less time scrubbing your rifle than if you had chosen steel-cased ammo. Belom’s ammo is engineered to perform on the harsh battlefield, so it is both waterproof and reliable in extreme temperatures.Customer Reviews

Production next moved to Spain before finally settling in Turkey. Today the subsidiary of Turaç exports ammunition to dozens of countries around the world, many of which utilize it for national defense.
This 7.62x39 ammunition is perfect for high-volume target shooting thanks to its steel cases. You save a lot of money by avoiding brass, an alloy that is mostly composed of semi-precious copper, and AK-47s have zero issue cycling steel. The main drawback to steel cases is that they aren’t able to be reloaded, although that is hardly a shortcoming at all if you aren’t a handloader.
Each one of these Kalashnikov rounds is outfitted with a 123 grain full metal jacket projectile. The bullet has a solid lead core with a bi-metal jacket – it does contain steel, and it will attract a magnet. This new production ammo is also outfitted with noncorrosive primers, so you can clean your rifle just as you normally would once target practice has reached its natural conclusion. -

We know exactly three things about it:
1. It is a Middle Eastern country
2. It is where this 7.62x39 ammunition was made
3. We will never be able to spell its name without looking it up
This ammunition was imported from Azerbaijan by Tela Impex – a Florida company that was founded by a decorated combat veteran with multiple war zone deployments. Safe to say he knows a thing or two about 7.62x39 ammo. It’s also safe to say that your AK-47 or SKS should fire this ammo just fine, because Tela Impex tested 50,000 rounds before ensuring that it is good enough for American shooters!
This ammo is loaded with steel cases (not reloadable), Berdan primers (not corrosive), and 124 grain full metal jackets. A bimetal jacket is almost entirely made of copper, though it has a copper-washed surface for better cosmetics. All of this is to say that this ammo’s bullets will attract a magnet, which is why it’s not welcome at all commercial ranges. -

Each cartridge in this box of 20 fires a 124 grain hollow point bullet. The projectile is of a relatively simple design that delivers much better terminal ballistics than FMJ bullets without increasing the cost of the round by much.
These cartridges are made in Russia using non-corrosive Berdan primers and non-reloadable steel cases with friction-reducing polymer coatings.

Belom of Serbia makes the 7.62x39 you and your AK (or SKS) will need to play beautiful music together!
Whereas your common Russian-made FMJ wears a mostly steel bimetal jacket, Belom’s jacket is made of gilding metal. The copper alloy covers a lead-antimony core, which is why this ammo is totally incapable of attracting a magnet. The 123 grain projectile achieves a muzzle velocity of 2,350 fps when fired from a 23.5” barrel.
This ammo is even less like Russian 7.62x39 because it is loaded with brass cases. They’re fresh out of the factory, never before fired, and outfitted with Boxer primers. Belom’s noncorrosive primers and low-residue powder will both keep your rifle safe and clean. Those primers are also sealed for added security against moisture in storage.
Belom may supply ammo to the commercial market, but they also ship the same stuff to military and law enforcement agencies. Their ammo is tested to ensure that it is completely waterproof, and it functions correctly at temperatures below -60 °F. (If it’s any colder than that, you probably wouldn’t want to go to the range anyway.) -

You were born too soon to travel the stars and plant the American flag on Planet Orbulon – a planet we just made up. But you were born just in time to purchase Fiocchi’s 7.62x39 ammunition online. Consider yourself blessed!
Whether you’re looking for ammunition for your AK-pattern rifle or your SKS, this ammo from Ozark, MO is certain to satisfy. This round’s 123 grain projectile is a full metal jacket with a lead core and copper alloy shell. If you put the FMJ near a magnet, nothing will happen, which makes this just the ammo to buy if you visit a range that hates “magnetic” bullets.
This ammo’s bullets aren’t just nonmagnetic. They are loaded in freshly minted brass cases (which are visibly discolored as a result of annealing – not because they are reloaded). You can reload this ammo! Can’t say the same about the steel-cased stuff that comes out of Russia, no siree. And thanks to its noncorrosive Boxer primers, you can rest assured that this ammo won’t produce rust that eats away at your barrel. -

Federal American Eagle 7.62x39 124 Grain FMJ - 500 Rounds

Unlike surplus imports, these American-made cartridges use brass casings that can be processed and hand-loaded after expenditure. Each casing has a clean-igniting Boxer primer that won't harm your barrel with metal-deteriorating elements. Federal guards the primer's edges with water-repelling sealant in order to increase dependable storage life. Each casing is crimped to the knurled cannelure of a full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet.
This type of crimp point prevents the bullet from being pushed back or dislodged which could otherwise cause a failure to fire or loss in accuracy. The FMJ projectile itself weighs in at 124 grains for compatibility with most other AK and SKS ammo on the market, resulting in consistent point-of-impact and relatable recoil. The bullet's true copper jacket and basic lead core preclude any sparking or penetration that might get the ammo banned at an indoor range, allowing you to shoot your favorite rifle wherever you wish. This 500-round bulk case is best used for practice and drills against training targets.

In terms of external ballistics, this is a very conventional 7.62x39mm load that requires minimal to no adjustments to sights or optics when transitioning from range ammo. The soft point projectile delivers the expansion needed to effect a clean kill without destroying edible meat.
Winchester ammo is made in the USA and uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and (unusual for this caliber) reloadable brass cases.

Choose Hornady BLACK for personal protection with any make and model 7.62x39 rifle. Trust it for hunting, too – especially in areas where you’re obligated to fire lead-free bullets!
True to its name, the MonoFlex SBR is a monolithic projectile. It doesn’t coat the rifling in lead residue. It also reliably conserves at least 95% of its weight after impact with soft tissue, which helps it conserve the momentum it needs to reach deep inside its target. The MonoFlex SBR’s Flex Tip is softer than the usual polymer. That enables it to drive into the bullet’s large underlying nose cavity, where it drives rapid positive expansion.
Hornady manufactures the MonoFlex SBR in the great state of Nebraska, where they also load it with a premium brass case and surefire primer. Between its low-residue powder and lead-free bullets, this ammo is going to treat you to way cleaner performance than any of the Russian-made stuff!
