Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 7.62x39 Ammo

I must be the luckiest SOB alive....I've got 6 PSAKs and everyone of them shoot wolf Hps like a champ.
Hell my poly stock GF5 with FN barrel will hold 2" groups with a sign Romeo.

I have an AR that shoots Tula Zinc like that.

Good Stuff .. Ready to Back Up the Truck...

All I shoot hogs with in my .308 is Tula 165gr soft points.

Accurate. Clean. Reliable.

Got a bunch of Silver Bear Barnaul soft points in 7.62x39 that's dirtier, less accurate, and requires more chamber, bore cleaning than Tula, but it's still acceptable.

Same deal, in my bolt action 308's the Tula SP's shoot great, they expand nice on deer, cheap, expands, shoots inside 2".

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this stuff. I've seen it on the shelves at the LGS for a few months now:



At $14/box, it isn't going to break the bank trying it out.

Supposed to be reloadable and non corrosive. Should shoot well enough in my SKS. That rifle shoots steel cased wolf like this, so I will have a good baseline for an accuracy comparison:


I'm not going to say it shoots 2 moa or anything, but it does well enough for an iron sighted military rifle that never has a hiccup of any kind.

Brass cased Prvi Partisian "soft points" from Midway @ $14 shoot great, and if you got to have brass Midway has Prvi FMJ for less.
PPU is pretty good stuff at least it works for me if I was in the mood for brass instead of steel. But I don't really feel the need for brass in X39
That way I don't have to look for the cases either in the grass and soybean fields. Ashes to ashes deal.

BSA,
That looks like some nice ammo. I could use some more 7.62x39 cases, and I don't mind supporting the Serbian arms makers. I just wish they would sell us more primers right now.

I agree buddy. I shot a box of it today, but daylight was fading. Seemed to shoot good, no failures. Loaded a little hotter than the Wolf steel cased stuff I generally shoot. I'm about ready to pop some primers out and make sure there is only one flash hole. I'll let you know. For $14/box, it seems reasonable. No shipping costs either, but if you can't find it locally, maybe the PPU stuff at midway may be your huckleberry. But for me, it would be a waste of money because of shipping costs.. LGS is a much better deal..

Here's a vid on the stuff:



Cheapest I found online is $11/box or $268/480 rounds..

Barnaul




In a SAR1 the HP was just better to show.

How does it compare in price to the Wolf hp? Accuracy comparison? Nice pic though..

Primers seated very nicely. Now when I do some load work for my SKS I'll find out what kind of neck tension and accuracy these produce...Plus the longevity of the cases. I totally agree with the person that said the steel cased stuff is nice because you don't have to go chasing after it. However, it will be interesting to see how accurate my SKS is with this brass cased stuff and the cartridge specific bullets I bought for it..

Barnaul's photo. When I was buying it they both were so cheap I didn't know which was the more expensive. I did find the Barnaul Hollow point shot just a little closer out of an AK. But the Wolf FMJ has the 5.45 type airspace in the nose to make it tumble in
stuff denser than air.

I hear that. Now it's kind of expensive. I was at a shop a few months ago and found some Wolf steel cased stuff like what I run and it was $18.00/box of 20. I thought, holy fu, I have 2,500 rounds at the house. Maybe I better not shoot it all up in one place!! Then I got down on my hands and knees and looked at the way back of the bottom shelf and found a box of bullets for my new 6x45:



I don't think they even knew those bullets were down there. Shoot pretty good in my rifle too:

Good stuff BSA.
Thanks for sharing.
