20 Rounds of 7.62×39 Ammo by Nosler – 123gr Ballistic Tip

The Soviets didn’t intend the 7.62×39 to be used for hunting. We Americans, however, do not take communists’ opinions under consideration, and will use any ammunition for hunting that we please.

Here is proof: Nosler’s own 7.62×39 ammunition, loaded with the acclaimed Oregonian manufacturer’s own Ballistic Tip bullets.

The Ballistic Tip offers impressive in-flight and terminal ballistics. To that first end, it uses its deformation-resistant boat tail and polymer tip to optimize drag and stability. To the second, it features the full-length tapered jacket, dense alloyed lead core, thick jacketed base, long-tailed polymer tip and nose cavity that it needs to deliver the optimal balance of penetration depth and rate of expansion.

If fired from a 24” barrel, this round’s 123 grain Ballistic Tip can easily conserve at least 1,000 ft lbs of energy until around 185 yards. An impressive display of so sleek a bullet’s ability to conserve velocity (0.168 G7 BC)!
