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.

    Don’t be thrown off by the foreign sounding name! 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.

    Accurate and Reloadable

    Shot 5 rounds of this in my AR-47. The group was 1.5 inches at 75 yds. The 480 rounds will fit in the standard army ammo box. Shoots very clean and easy to reload. Glad to see it available again.

    Stock up on some great hunting and defense ammo with this 1000 round bulk pack of Wolf's Polyformance hollow-point ammo. These 7.62x39mm rounds are constructed using non-corrosive Berdan primers fitted into steel casings coated with polymer. The polymer layer allows for proper chamber seal during firing which prevents excess fouling with rifles of loose tolerance which can lead to carbon build-up and eventual malfunction. The 123 grain projectiles match ballistics with many plinking rounds while the hollow-point expansion makes the rounds suitable for use again small deer, hogs, and coyotes.

    Wolf Performance Ammunition is an American company that imports product from the Tula plant in Russia; a manufacturer with over 125 years of experience with mass production of Russian military calibers. Wolf's direction in the American market has lead to constant product revision and innovation in order to offer shooters an effect yet inexpensive source of ammo for many roles.

    Pigman is a superhero who fights crime with the powers of squealing and bacon. 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!

    Want a great deal on 7.62x39 ammunition? Then you gotta ditch the brass cases and opt for steel ones instead!

    But hold on a second. Isn’t steel-cased ammo incredibly hard to come by due to the Russian import ban? Thanks to MAXX Tech, it’s not! Their Not From Russia (NFR) line of 7.62x39 ammo is loaded with steel cases from Eastern Europe and 123 grain full metal jacket bullets from the USA, so it’s ready to rock in your AK or SKS!

    This ammo’s bullets can’t attract a magnet. No steel – just nonferrous lead and brass – so you can fire to your heart’s content at ranges which have “magnetic” ammo bans in effect.

    This ammo’s steel cases are polymer coated. It doesn’t immunize them against corrosion, but it does protect them, and polymer also reduces friction so as to promote more reliable feeding and ejection. This ammo’s noncorrosive Berdan primers are yet another reason why you can’t reload it. Just leave those cases on the ground and you’ll be all set!

    The AK may not technically be a musical instrument, but it does play our favorite song. 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.)

    Sterling ammunition was originally manufactured in England. 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.

    You were born too late to explore uncharted territory. 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.

Packaged in an economical case of 500, these rounds fire a 123 grain full metal jacket bullet and produce typical ballistics for this caliber.

    This ammunition is loaded in South Korea and uses non-corrosive Boxer primers. All of the components are made in-house to ensure optimal quality control.

    PMC ammo is made by Poongsan, a major supplier to the South Korean military.

    Chocolate or vanilla. Bourbon or Scotch. Fries or coleslaw. AR-15 or AK-47. Anyone can pick a favorite. It takes a great thinker to appreciate and enjoy the merits of both. If you’re a proud American who doesn’t feel a twinge of guilt for appreciating Soviet engineering, then you’ll love firing Fiocchi’s Missouri-made 7.62x39 ammunition in your AK-style firearm!

    This ammunition is armed with 123 grain full metal jacket projectiles. They aren’t engineered for terminal expansion, so you’re best off not using them to hunt medium game. But because those FMJs aren’t made with any steel, they’ll comply with any range’s nonmagnetic ammo policy!

    This ammo is also unlike the Russian-made stuff because it is loaded with noncorrosive Boxer-primed virgin brass cases. They’re all set to cycle through any semi-auto without any drama, and they’re a swell choice for any 7.62x39 handloading projects you’ve been dreaming about.
