7.62x39mm – 123 gr FMJ – PMC Bronze (7.62A) – 500 Rounds

Most 7.62×39 practice ammo is steel cased. PMC Bronze 7.62A gives AK and SKS owners a brass-cased, boxer-primed alternative that runs clean and can be reloaded. This listing is PMC Bronze 7.62x39mm 123 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 7.62A, sold as a 500 round case.

PMC rates this load at 2,350 fps with 1,495 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 123 grain FMJ bullet is the standard 7.62×39 weight, so it shoots to the same general point of impact as most surplus and steel-cased loads. Brass cases seal the chamber well and tend to extract smoothly, which is why many shooters prefer brass for rifles with tight chambers, such as some AR-15 7.62×39 builds and bolt actions. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand reliably, so this is ammunition for training, plinking, and steel rather than hunting.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 7.62x39mm, including AK-47 and AKM pattern rifles, the SKS, the Ruger Mini-30 and American Ranch, the CZ Bren 2 and CZ 527, Zastava M70, and AR-15 uppers built for 7.62×39. A common question is whether 7.62×39 and 7.62×51 are the same. They are not. 7.62×39 is a much shorter intermediate cartridge, so only use this ammo in a firearm marked 7.62×39. Another common question is whether brass ammo is worth it over steel. Brass is reloadable, extracts reliably, and is allowed at many ranges that ban steel-cased or bimetal ammunition.

PMC 7.62A is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in South Korea. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive. This case comes in factory packaging as 25 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 500 rounds of 7.62×39 123 grain FMJ. Buying by the case keeps you on one production lot for consistent zero and function from box to box.
