Top Bulk 7.62x39 Choices
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.

Tela Impex 7.62x39 124 Grain FMJ – 1000 Rounds
$587.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Tela Ammo Condition New Bullet Weight 124 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 4760167510014 Cost Per Round 58.8¢ per round The government isn’t letting Russian-made ammo into the country nowadays. 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

MAXX Tech NFR 7.62x39 123 Grain FMJ – 500 Rounds

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! -

Brass is the perfect metal for manufacturing shell cases. It’s strong, yet supple enough to seal the chamber on ignition and return to its original dimensions afterward. Unfortunately, brass is mostly made out of copper – and copper ain’t exactly a cheap metal.
MAXX Tech makes this 7.62x39 ammunition more affordable by substituting brass cases for polymer-coated steel ones. They’re not reloadable, but they’re just the ticket if you’re trying to save money on ammo you plan on only firing once!
This ammo’s European-made steel cases are loaded with American-made full metal jacket projectiles. Each 123 grain bullet wears a brass jacket around its solid lead core, which is why it can’t attract a magnet! This ammo’s Berdan primers are also noncorrosive, so there’s no need to give your rifle a special cleaning after you’ve finished roughing up range targets. -
Sellier & Bellot 7.62x39 124 Grain FMJ – 600 Rounds
$423.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Sellier & Bellot Condition New Bullet Weight 124 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 600 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Manufacturer SKU SB76239A Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 754908517411 Cost Per Round 70.6¢ per round Do you want to fire your AK-47 until its handguard becomes so hot that you can barely touch it? Then you’re going to need a lot of ammo to get there. If you’re after both quantity and quality for your Kalashnikov, look no further than these 600 7.62x39 rounds by Sellier & Bellot.
This cartridge has a 124 grain projectile, a grain heavier than what the USSR’s original design called for. The bullet’s full metal jacket, which is made of a hard copper zinc alloy, will maintain your rifle’s accuracy over the course of a single shooting session, and also ensure that it reliably makes it from the magazine to the chamber without a hitch. This bullet won’t expand on impact -- save it for targets and empty recycling.
Unlike much Russian-made ammo on the market, this Czech cartridge sports a new production brass casing, so it presents the opportunity to make your own AK loads back at home. You’ll want to Czech out its propellant and primer as well -- clean burning and non-corrosive, respectively, so they’ll keep your action and bore spotless longer.Customer Reviews

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. -

Federal American Eagle 7.62x39 124 Grain FMJ - 500 Rounds
$449.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Brand American Eagle Condition New Bullet Weight 124 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 500 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Manufacturer SKU A76239A Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50029465085273 Cost Per Round 90¢ per round If you opt to feed your AK with ammo that's shelf-stable, reloadable, and non-corrosive then look no further than these 7.62x39mm rounds from Federal's American Eagle brand. 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.

Only a madman would attempt handloading steel cases. That makes Hornady Frontier an ACE CHOICE for sane handloaders. It’s decked out with its Nebraskan manufacturer’s best new brass, which have single flash holes thanks to their noncorrosive Boxer primers. -
