Why Choose This 7.62×39 Load?

• Non‑magnetic brass cases: Unlike many steel‑cased imports, these brass casings are reloadable, corrosion resistant, and easier on magnetic metal detectors or chronographs that are sensitive to steel.

• Boxer primer: Single flash hole primer pockets make these cases convenient for handloaders.

• Clean‑burning powder: Reduces barrel fouling and simplifies maintenance after high‑volume shooting.

• Reliable feeding: FMJ geometry is optimized for dependable cycling in AK‑pattern magazines and semi‑auto platforms.

• Proven ballistics: The 124‑gr projectile delivers familiar 7.62×39 performance — good mid‑range energy with controllable recoil.

Ballistics & Performance Notes

Expect a flat, predictable trajectory out to standard engagement distances for the cartridge. Performance will vary with barrel length and environmental factors; typical factory figures are in the 2,350–2,400 fps range from full‑length rifle barrels. FMJ bullets do not expand — they are intended for training and target work, not for hunting where expansion is desired.

Reloading & Compatibility

• Reloadable: Brass, Boxer‑primed cases are excellent for reloaders — trim to spec and use appropriate 7.62×39 load data.

• Platform compatibility: Ideal for AK‑47/AKM, SKS, and other 7.62×39 rifles. Test for function in your specific firearm before bulk use.

• Magazines & feeding: Designed to feed cleanly from standard 10/20/30‑round AK magazines and most aftermarket magazines; always confirm reliable function with your gear.

Safety & Legal Reminder

Always follow local, state, and federal laws when purchasing, transporting, and using ammunition. Use proper eye and ear protection, and follow safe firearm handling practices. Ammunition specifications may vary by lot — consult manufacturer data for precise specs.

FAQ — 7.62×39 Ammo (GECO 124gr)

A: Yes. Boxer‑primed cases have a single flash hole and are the easiest option for reloading at home.

Q: Will this ammo feed reliably in AK‑pattern rifles?
A: FMJ loads like this are optimized for reliable feeding in AK‑pattern platforms, but you should always verify function in your particular rifle.

Q: Can I use this for hunting?
A: FMJ is not recommended for hunting — it doesn’t expand. Use soft‑point or bonded hunting bullets designed for ethical terminal performance.

Q: What velocity can I expect?
A: Typical muzzle velocities are about 2,350–2,400 ft/s from a rifle‑length barrel; expect less from shorter barrels.
