This cartridge quickly gained popularity after being modernized – especially in the Ak47 Assault Rifle which saw world-wide acceptance of the cartridge and weapon system. While used in hunting applications this cartridge exhibits exceptional killing power on all manner of game, however, it is best used on game up to small to medium sized deer and out to a range of 150 to 180 metres – at that range, the “knock-down” area of the animal is not exceeded by the trajectory of the projectile. More experienced shooters have reported surprising results in excess of 250 metres – however, this is not a recommend opening range. At distances over 120 metres and on heavier game, the projectile causes minor tissue damage and is therefore an excellent choice when a hunter is shooting for meat – not a trophy.
Bought a bunch of this ammo in December 2019, and left most of boxes inside a forgotten ammo box in my closet. Cut to me moving out of my residence almost 3 years later in October 2023 I discover this ammo. I take it to the range and it shot like a dream, performed better than Tula and Wolf Steel cased. If you see it "Available," I highly recommend getting it!
No thanks, Putin. Buy US.
I LOVE THIS AMMO...the laquered coating makes all the difference! No soft primer strikes, MISFIRES or jams...like the Tula brand!!! Consistently over 2400fps every time...and thank you Sportmans for everything! Awesome turn around this time and love that Sportmans shops via fed-ex...so I received a GOOD QUALITY PRIDUCT FROM A GREAT RELIABLE SOURCE...THANKS AGAIN Sportsmans.
Shipment was recd in a timely manner and the product performed for me just as it has in the past. Works and runs great in my Yugo SKS, which doesnt like Tula.
