Sure this should probably go in the ammo forum, but as its pretty dead in there, im sure ill get some replies here.
Picked up a case of 7.62x39 ammo for my friends SAR1. Its an orange box of 20 rounds with a striped tiger next to a target on the front. Its labeled as:
7.62x39 FMJBT
124G LEAD CORE
STEEL CASE
NON-CORROSIVE
Compared to the wolf dark green case, its a more offgreen/greygreen color, but still turns your fingers yellow. The back of the box reads:
Importer and Distributor:
Star-Vector Corporation
blah blah
[email protected]Manufacturer:
Federal State Enterprises
"Vympel", Russia
The headstamp is 7.62x39 above a B with the bottom part of the B not being closed.
It has purple sealant on both the bullet and primer. Anyone shot this stuff/know any velocity info? So far 750 rounds of it shot flawless, and seems to go bang just as loud as the WOLF stuff.
Thanks guys,
Alex
