Sellier & Bellot - Full Metal Jacket - 123 Grain 7.62X39 Ammo - 600 Rounds

Long thought of by many not military arms enthusiasts as merely a communist bloc military round, the reliability of the 7.62x39 round has for over 70 years proven itself a reliable and effective close to medium range rifle round for both target shooting as well as civil defense and even, with a new line of bolt action rifles being introduced, an effective hunting and target or competition round. With a proven history of use in less than ideal circumstances, the caliber remains popular to dated, even after full replacement with the 5.45x39 in the 1970’s.

This 123 grain full metal jacket 7.62x39 ammo by Sellier & Bellot has a muzzle velocity of 2421 feet per second with just over 1600 foot pounds of energy. Because of the brass case, this round is very well suited for use in the bolt action target and hunting rifles of recent manufacture without overstressing the chambers the way steel cased, mil surplus ammo can.

Sellier & Bellot’s reputation for quality ammunition extends even to calibers that are discounted for cheap spam can ammo. What makes the S&B ammunition noteworthy, besides being loaded to commercial rather than mass produced steel ammo standards, is the reloadable cases: a rare offering in this caliber indeed.
