7.62x39 RED ARMY STANDARD 122 GRAIN FMJ (1000 ROUNDS)

About This Red Army Standard 7.62 x 39 Ammunition

Firing a 7.62x39 firearm? That’s fun! Paying for brass cases you have no intention of handloading? That’s not as much fun, by any measure! Ordering a whole case of Red Army Standard’s steel-cased 7.62x39 ammunition – with free shipping? That’s not just fun. It’s smart.

This ammo hails from Kyrgyzstan – not Russia – but it still has the same features you’d expect from a Russian-made product. That includes bimetal-jacketed FMJ projectiles, which have lead cores, steel shells, and thin copper-washed exteriors. Take care that a bimetal jacket will attract a magnet. Not all ranges allow that on their premises.

Steel cases mean that this ammo contains even less copper (the main ingredient in brass). They are virtually impossible to handload. Don’t even bother trying. But they do withstand exposure to moisture without corroding thanks to their lacquer coatings, and their sealed primers and mouths only do more to protect against water damage. Those Berdan primers are completely noncorrosive, so there’s no need to give your rifle a special cleaning once target practice has concluded for the day!
