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. -
Tela Impex 7.62x39 124 Grain FMJ – 1000 Rounds

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

Belom 7.62x39 123 Grain FMJ – 480 Rounds

Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Belom Condition New Bullet Weight 123 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 480 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 8606110608185 Cost Per Round 54.1¢ per round 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.Customer Reviews

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.

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.

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

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! -
Sellier & Bellot 7.62x39 124 Grain SP – 600 Rounds
$369.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Sellier & Bellot Condition New Bullet Weight 124 Grain Bullet Type Soft-Point (SP) Use Type hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 600 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Manufacturer SKU SB76239B Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 754908515516 Cost Per Round 61.6¢ per round We love a rifle that sounds like a train car when you rack it. And not because of any of that stuff about scaring off a home intruder – only because it’s loud. But if you want to make really loud noises with your AK-47, racking it alone won’t do. Gotta have ammo for that.
And not just any ammo – Sellier & Bellot ammo, which the Eastern European company has made since 1825. S&B turns out high quality loads, always with reloadable brass shell casings and non-corrosive Boxer primers. If you handload, this case of ammo will give you plenty of opportunity to do so. If you love cleaning your AK after every time you’ve fired it, you won’t get to for very long with this ammo.
This 7.62x39 cartridge features a 124 grain soft point bullet, suiting it better for hunting and self-defense than an FMJ. The bullet’s core is laid bare at the tip, and as the result it will mushroom and tumble around as it passes through soft tissue. The bullet’s jacket preempts rapid barrel fouling, and prevents it from tearing apart during terminal expansion. -

$12.85Product 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 20 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Primer Type Berdan Magnetic Yes UPC Barcode 8698779967284 Cost Per Round 64.2¢ per round 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. -
Ammo Inc. 7.62x39 123 Grain FMJ M67 – 180 Rounds in Field Box
$119.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Ammo Incorporated Condition New Bullet Weight 123 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 180 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Manufacturer SKU 762X39123FMJ-B180 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 818778024896 Cost Per Round 66.6¢ per round This 7.62x39mm ammunition was manufactured by Prvi Partizan. Ammo Inc. brought it over from Serbia, and then packaged it up in convenient reusable plastic boxes with closable lids. But you know what? We think that was a very nice thing for Ammo Inc. to do, because this ammo is awesome for all manners of target practice!
This is an M67 spec cartridge: not military surplus, but instead recently manufactured by a company that hasn’t touched a corrosive primer since several decades ago. The 123 grain full metal jacket is a conventional lead core/brass jacket affair: totally incapable of movement when placed next to a magnet.
Prvi Partizan captured this round’s advertised 2,460 fps muzzle velocity with the aid of a 24” barrel. That’s admittedly a strange choice seeing as how the SKS has a 20” barrel, and the AK-47’s barrel is even shorter at 16.3”. All we’re saying is that you should reasonably expect a lower MV at the range.
If you’re accustomed to not reloading 7.62x39 because it’s usually loaded with steel cases, then get a load of this: brass cases. They’re fresh as spring daisies, and they’re pretty much begging for a handloader’s magic touch. -

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. -
Belom 7.62x39 123 Grain FMJ – 20 Rounds
$14.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Belom Condition New Bullet Weight 123 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 8606110608093 Cost Per Round 74.2¢ per round 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.) -

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

In addition to being highly reliable, these cartridges are useful if you plan to shoot your AK or SKS indoors where steel-cased ammo may not always be permitted due to its magnetic properties.

Federal American Eagle 7.62x39 124 Grain FMJ - 500 Rounds
$559.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal 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 $1.12 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.

Each round in this box of 20 fires a 123 grain soft point bullet at 2,365 feet per second. 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!
