Overview
Built around the familiar 7.62x39 platform, this hollow point ammunition is intended for shooters who want a .30 caliber option for rifles chambered in this cartridge. The 123-grain load is offered in a 500-round case, making it a practical choice for range sessions, training, or keeping a compatible rifle supplied in quantity. Its hollow point design gives it a different purpose than full metal jacket loads, so it may suit users looking for that style of projectile in a proven intermediate cartridge. Barnaul Ammunition produces this load for those already set up for 7.62x39 rifles such as the AK-47 and SKS family.
