This 7.62x39mm cartridge by Tula sports a 154 grain soft point projectile. Because this bullet’s soft core is exposed through the opening at its metal jacket’s tip, it will deform and expand upon impact to create a deep wound channel within targets. This round’s attractive price also makes it ideal for target practice — it’s largely attributable to its non-corrosive Berdan primed steel casing, which is far more cost-effective to produce than brass. The trade-off is that you won’t be able to handload these cartridges, but at little more than a quarter apiece you’ll hardly be set back by that.
The Tula Ammunition plant has specialized in the production of steel cased ammo since switching over to the material in the 1920s as a way of saving money on production costs. The Russian company is a key supplier to their country’s military, and their reliable products are found throughout the world as well.
