Just got back from the local fun show where I picked up three boxes of 7.62 x 39 8M2 "Effect" FMJ ammo. I`'ve heard of the 8M3, and thought the "effect" ammo was the ammo with the little "nub" on the tip of the bullet. Anyone know anything about this? From what I`'ve read, it has an airpocket in the nose, like the 5.45 x 39. Is this a "find" where I should go back and by the rest of what they have ??

How much did you pay for it per box? But I would go buy the rest if it is at a good price I bought a lgs out of their 8m3 and older hp ammo that is "made to hunting specs" that was 7 bucks a box. Do it up man good luck.

That is the "nipple" effect ammo. This 8M2 has what looks like a normal FMJ bullet

They're good ammo and no longer available. I bought a bunch of them a while back. Made by Ulyanovsk plant.

I think I have a case of that stashed in the basement. Boxes look the same anyway.





ETA: Now that I think about it, what have is old Tula with the TCW head stamp.

Hi,

Congrats on your find.  If you can find it the Golden Tiger 124 gr. ammo also has the same air pocket bullet, but with the M43 boat tail bullet profile.  I like it as it shoots accurately.

Best Wishes:
