History

Variants
M43
american made 7.62×39 ammo wound on a soldier from the Vietnam War.
The original Soviet M43 bullets are 123 grain boat-tail bullets with a copper-plated steel jacket, a large steel core, and some lead between the core and the jacket. The cartridge itself consisted of a Berdan-primed, highly tapered (usually steel) case which seats the bullet and contains the powder charge.
The taper makes it very easy to feed and extract the round, since there is little contact with the chamber walls until the round is fully seated. This taper is what causes the AK-47 to have distinctively curved magazines (helping to distinguish AK-47s from AK-74s, which feed from a much straighter magazine). While the bullet design has gone through a few redesigns, the cartridge itself remains largely unchanged. The ballistic coefficient (G7 BC) of the M1943 pattern full metal jacket boat bullet is 0.138
The complete solidity of the M43 projectile causes its only drawback—it is very stable, even while traversing tissue. It begins to yaw only after traversing nearly 26 cm (10 in) of tissue. This greatly reduces the potential wounding effectiveness of the projectile against humans.
M67
In the 1960s Yugoslavia experimented with new bullet designs to produce a round with a superior wounding profile, speed, and accuracy to the M43. The M67 projectile is shorter and flatter-based than the M43. This is mainly due to the deletion of the mild steel insert. This has the side effect of shifting the center of gravity rearward in comparison to the M43. This allows the projectile to destabilize nearly 17 cm (6.7 in) earlier in tissue.
This causes a pair of large stretch cavities at a depth likely to cause effective wound trauma. When the temporary stretch cavity intersects with the skin at the exit area, a larger exit wound will result, which takes longer to heal. Additionally, when the stretch cavity intersects a stiff organ like the liver, it will cause damage to that organ. However, the wounding potential of M67 is mostly limited to the small permanent wound channel the bullet itself makes, especially when the bullet yaws (tumbles).[11]
Commercial ammunition
Commercial Russian-made 7.62×39mm ammunition, such as those sold under the Wolf Ammunition brand name, are also available in full metal jacket (FMJ), soft-point (SP) and hollow-point (HP) variety The SP bullets offer improved expansion. Commercial ammunition differs from most military ammunition in regards to bullet composition, specifically heavy use of lead instead of soft steel or tool steel.
Type 56: Chinese Mild Steel Core
Chinese (Type 56) military ammunition (developed in 1956) is a M43 style cartridge with a mild steel core (MSC) and a thin copper or brass jacket. In 1956, the Chinese developed their own 7.62x39mm assault rifle, also designated Type 56. It is a variant of the Soviet-designed AK-47 (specifically Type 3 and AKM) assault rifles.
Production started in 1956 at State Factory 66 but was eventually handed over to Norinco, who continues to manufacture the rifle primarily for export. Norinco developed and produced 7.62×39 ammo academy ammunition for the Type 56 rifle. The Chinese ammunition (as well as all other M43 ammunition) is currently banned from importation in the United States because U.S. federal law classifies the round as an armor-piercing handgun round. This classification is based on materials and bullet design rather than on empirical ability to penetrate armor

I receive the wrong ammunition instead I receive 10 gauge shells when I had order 7.62×39 so I had to wait longer for fed ex to pick up my return and now have to wait even longer for me to get my order I am disappointed with sportsmans response I would of though they would overnight my order or offer me something for the inconvenience but instead I have to wait almost 3 weeks to receive my order

Since buying this ammo, I’ve put nearly 1000+ rounds down range. Never had a bad experience with them. Yes, it’s cheap steel-cased, but AK’s should eat right through them no problem. Never had a misfire or any other malfunctions while running this ammo!

I received the ammo on time, but each box in the case was taped up snd every box was damaged, even to the point that some ammo was loose in the case. The ammo itself is ok, but I repacked it into ammo cans for storage. SG should ensure better packaging, especially for items like ammo. I have been a customer for over 20 years, and this is the first time that I have had this problem.

These are great for target practice or hunting. Sent to my son for Xmas gift. Sent them last year as well. He loves them in his SKS.
Clientservice –
I’ve used this for years in my SKS without a problem. In my new Palmetto State 7.62 upper, however, I had both failure to feed and eject. In fact, my upper is completely locked with a Wolf cartridge firmly lodged about 2 mm from the closed position. Of the 22 rounds I fired before it locked up, I had about half that worked well and half either didn’t feed or eject. Now my SKS has Wolf steel case all to itself.
Clientservice –
I have an SKS and bought a thousand of these rounds and they work super and are really fun to shoot and so inexpensive! Would totally recommend them for plinking.
Clientservice –
This is good ammo, goes bang 99 out of 100 rounds, accurate out to 100 yds, probably more but 100yds is the max on my range. Great for plinking and the occasional varmint. Only downfall is steel cases, can’t reload.

I purchased this ammo for my new SKS build , worked perfect . Ammo was affordable ,shipped quickly and once again SG did a wonderful job.

Took my new PSA KS-47 out and test fired. Slapped on my Eotech no adjustment and shot a 1/2″ group (3 shots) at 25 yds. without a FTF or ejection issues. Great ammo!

I ordered ammo during the black Friday sale. The ammo had an excellent price and the free shipping was a deal breaker. Plus, my order arrived in about 3 days. I have always been satisfied with items and service from this company.

I’ve used this ammo many times in an SKS I used to have (man I miss that rifle) and I never had an issue with any round I ran through it. The best example I can give of the power and/or punch of these rounds is of the Texas Jack Rabbit I popped at 60 yards. Needless to say when I pulled the trigger there was an immediate puff of pink mist and the rabbit was gone. My buddy and I went to look for the rabbit and there was only the left ear part of the face and a piece of skin/fur that ran down to the hind leg and that was it. The rest of the rabbit was spread over about a 20ft area in bits and pieces. My buddy said “That bunny went bye bye!” It’s been a long time since I laughed that hard!!!

Inexpensive, works good in my red pray and spray weapon. It’s not like it’s going to jam, misfire or really even need to be cleaned. So I figure, why pay more.

This has become a very popular hunting round for me. I use my SKS for most of my hunting. Accuracy and great penetration, this is a great round and it also very inexpensive.

Great price, good ammo. I like this polymer coated stuff compared to the lacquer coated. This feeds better in my opinion, and won’t cook off the coating and leave funk in your chamber.
