Details
This 7.62×39 ammunition is technically un-American, though. It’s made by Sterling, a subsidiary of Turaç in Turkey. Sterling took the tried-and-true Russian-style approach to reducing this ammo’s price tag by loading it with steel cases. In addition to their lower cost than brass, steel cases are easy to pick up off the ground with a magnet and tough enough to stand up to AKs with rough extractors. On the downside, steel cases aren’t reloadable. 1000 Rounds of 7.62×39 Ammo by Sterling – 123gr FMJ
This noncorrosive ammunition is loaded with simple 123 grain full metal jacket projectiles. That’s a lead core with a bi-metal jacket, which means the bullet’s outermost layer contains steel. Do not order this 7.62×39 if you intend to fire your AK (or SKS) at a range which prohibits “magnetic” ammo!
