7.62x39mm – 182 Gr FMJBT Subsonic – PPU (PPS76239) – 1000 Rounds

Pick up this 1,000 round case of PPU PPS76239 7.62x39mm 182 grain FMJ boat tail subsonic ammo from Prvi Partizan. This load comes from PPU’s subsonic line and is made for shooters who run a suppressor on their 7.62×39 rifle and want quiet, low recoil shooting in bulk. It is also a good option for shooters who want to practice on private land without the full report of a standard load.

The heavy 182 grain full metal jacket boat tail bullet is loaded to stay below the speed of sound. Prvi Partizan lists a muzzle velocity of 1,050 fps and muzzle energy of 445 ft-lbs, measured from a 560mm test barrel. Without a supersonic crack, a suppressed rifle is noticeably quieter, which makes this load ideal for suppressed training and plinking. Because the pressure and gas volume are lower than standard loads, it may not reliably cycle many gas-operated rifles without adjustment. It works best in bolt-action rifles or in rifles with an adjustable gas system. The FMJ bullet is meant for target shooting, not hunting.

The 7.62x39mm was developed in the Soviet Union during the 1940s for the SKS and AK rifles, and its short case and heavy bullet make it a natural fit for subsonic loads. It is chambered in AK pattern rifles, the SKS, the Ruger Mini Thirty and a range of bolt-action and AR-15 pattern rifles. Confirm your rifle is marked for 7.62x39mm, and test function with your setup before relying on it. Prvi Partizan has made ammunition in Serbia since 1928.

This is new production ammunition loaded in brass cases with Boxer primers, so the cases can be reloaded. PPU ammunition is non-corrosive, which is good news for suppressor and rifle cleaning. The case holds 50 boxes of 20 rounds each, for 1,000 rounds total. Keep PPU PPS76239 in a cool, dry place and you will have a long supply of quiet shooting on hand.
