7.62x39mm – 123 gr PSP – PPU (PP739P) – 1000 Rounds

Hunters who carry an AK or SKS into the deer woods need a 7.62×39 soft point that expands, not the steel case FMJ they plink with. This listing is Prvi Partizan (PPU) Metric Rifle 7.62x39mm 123 grain pointed soft point ammunition, MPN PP739P, sold as a 1000 round case. A full case of 7.62×39 hunting ammo covers sighting in, practice and many seasons of deer and hog hunting from one consistent lot, which helps your point of impact stay the same from box to box.

The 123 grain pointed soft point has an exposed lead tip that starts expansion on impact, which is what you want on game and what full metal jacket bullets do not provide. The pointed profile also holds velocity better than a round nose at typical woods distances. PPU rates this load at 2,350 fps with 1,508 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Those numbers put it in line with what shooters expect from the 7.62×39 cartridge for medium game at moderate range.

This load is built for deer and hog hunting with AK and SKS rifles, the Ruger Mini-30, the CZ 527 and the Ruger American Ranch in 7.62×39. It works in both semi-auto and bolt action rifles chambered for the cartridge. Hog hunters who shoot a lot of animals on control work and deer hunters who want to practice with their actual hunting load both benefit from buying in bulk. The 1000 round case is the most economical way to buy 7.62×39 soft point ammo and keep your hunting rifle fed for years.

PPU PP739P is made in Serbia, an imported load, and it is new production ammunition, not reloads. Each round uses a brass case with a boxer primer, not the steel cases and Berdan primers common in budget 7.62×39. The ammunition is non-corrosive, so no special cleaning is needed after shooting, and the boxer-primed brass is reloadable. The case ships in factory packaging as 50 boxes of 20 rounds, for a total of 1000 rounds.
