7.62x39 - 122 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 1000 Rounds

Product Description

Century Arms International is an authority on the AK-47, so it is only fitting that the importer and manufacturer should offer ammunition for the famous rifle as well. This 7.62x39 cartridge hails from Tula's cartridge plant Russia, and features a steel shell … read more casing that serves to keep its price tag nice and low. Many shooters’ chief beef with steel casings is that they tend to jam in a semi-automatic. This Red Army Standard round’s casing is coated with polymer to reduce the friction it generates, thus facilitating smooth rapid fire.

This cartridge has a 122 grain bullet, which falls squarely within the normal weight range for its caliber. The bullet’s hard, concentric jacket at once promotes reliable feeding from a magazine, a cleaner bore after shooting, and a level flight trajectory. Red Army Standard uses Berdan primers, which are slightly less expensive to produce than Boxers. The primer which requires two flash holes is less desirable to handloaders, but with its steel casing you wouldn’t have reloaded this range round anyway!
