History of 7.62x39 Ammo

Introduced in 1943, the 7.62x39mm cartridge was originally chambered in the RPD Light Machine Gun as well as the SKS Rifle. Soon after its development, the entry of the iconic AK-47 into the Soviet military ensured the 7.62x39 would have a place for many years to come. The cartridge has been employed in militaries around the globe, and is used by many police officers and civilians.

The round is also known as the 7.62 Soviet and sometimes as the .30 Russian Short, though the latter of these is somewhat archaic. Thanks to its use in the AK-47, a semi-automatic rifle virtually everyone in the world has heard of, 7.62x30 ammo is used across the globe.

Because it was a round preferred by the Soviet Union in combat, it needed to be able to be fired in extremely warm and extremely cold climates in every region. Thus, a rifleman can use the 7.62x39mm in anything from the poles to the equator.

The Iconic AK-47

What the AR-15 is to the United States, the AK-47 is to Russia and the Eastern Slavic countries. The original design work began in 1945, but the AK-47 didn’t reach the Red Army until a year later in a fixed stock version. Seventy years later, the AK-47 (or “Kalashnikov”) is one of the most widely used weapons in the world both for civilian and military use. Indeed, of the 500 million firearms in the world in 2004, 100 million were Kalashnikovs and 75 million of these were AK-47s.

One of the hallmarks of the weapon is its service life. This can be as little as 6,000 or as much as 15,000. The difference is because there are so many variations on the weapon, made both with the utmost craftsmanship or cranked off of assembly lines in impoverished post-Soviet nations, that it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Indeed, the weapon is so iconic in Russia that it is the subject of a popular joke about the future as regards the rivalry between the United States and the People’s Republic of China for world dominance: “Optimists learn English, pessimists learn Chinese, realists learn Kalashnikov.”

The History of the 7.62 Soviet Round

There’s actually a fascinating history to the development of this cartridge. Like virtually everything else manufactured in the Soviet Union, the 7.62x39 round was the result of central planning. Unlike virtually everything else in the Soviet Union, central planning managed to get this one right.

It all started on July 15, 1943, when the Soviet Union was in the throes of its battle with Nazi Germany. This was the day that the Technical Council of the People's Commissariat for Armaments met to discuss an intermediate Soviet cartridge, something that the Red Army sorely needed.

As dictated by the Soviet central planners, the new cartridge was to be the backbone of the Soviet military. It would be used in a light machine gun, a semi-automatic carbine and a selective fire rifle. The cartridge was designed by (what else?) a committee in conjunction with the Soviet Union’s top weapons designers. The committee considered 314 designs before narrowing the field down to eight that were actually manufactured, then tested. By December 1943, the 7.62x41, the forerunner of the 7.62x39, began production. In March of 1944, the first 7.62x39s rolled off the line.

The Men Behind the 7.62x39

Some of the weapon designers who worked on this round deserve mention in their own right:

  • Vladimir Grigoryevich Fyodorov: At a certain point, the Soviet Union realized it needed military men from the old Tsarist regime. At the same time, aristocrats of the Tsarist era began to see the Soviet Union as a means of national cultural resurgence. Vladimir Grigoryevich Fyodorov was just such a man. A graduate of the Mikhailovskaya Artillery Academy, he designed a prototype of one of the earliest assault rifles, the Avtomat Fyodorova. After the revolution, he headed up the first Soviet weapons plant. He was awarded several of the USSR’s top honors, including the Hero of Labor, two Orders of Lenin, Order of the Patriotic War (First Class) and Order of the Red Star.
  • Fedor Tokarev: Tokarev is also known for having designed the Tokarev TT-30 and T-33 self-loading pistols, as well as the Tokarev SVT-38 and SVT-40 self-loading rifles. These were used extensively in the Soviet war against Germany. He received the Hero of Socialist Labor award, as well as the USSR State Prize for his efforts. His son was also a firearms designer who worked at the world famous plant at Tula.
  • Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov: One of the many fathers of the modern assault rifle, his projects include the AG-043, AKS-53, AKS-91, AO-35 assault rifle and AO-63 assault rifle. In many ways, he was the very picture of the Soviet dream. He started working in a foundry immediately after completing elementary school. By 1927, he was working directly underneath Fyodorov in the Soviet Design and Development Department. He received a large number of Soviet awards including the Stalin Prize (twice), the Order of the Red Banner of Labor (twice), Order of the Red Star, Order of the Patriotic War (First Class), Order of the October Revolution, Order of the Red Star, Hero of Socialist Labor and a whopping three Orders of Lenin.
  • Georgy Shpagin: A former peasant who became a carpenter at 12, Shpagin was drafted into the Russian Imperial Army and worked repairing artillery. He joined the Red Army during the Revolution, working as a gunsmith. He spent over 15 fruitless years designing the DShK heavy machine gun before it finally paid off. This weapon is still in wide use as an anti-tank, anti-aircraft and an anti-personnel gun. He designed the PPSh-41 submachine gun, which was the staple automatic weapon of the struggle against Germany during World War II. He earned the Stalin Prize (Second Class), The Order of the Red Star, three Orders of Lenin and the Order of Suvorov.

At this point, the cartridge began evaluation in actual combat and training scenarios, not just theoretical testing. Initially the designers decided against a boat tail on the round. This is because they believed that it would only make a difference at very long ranges – which proved to be false. Another change was to the bullets. The length was increased to 26.8mm and the core was redesigned as lead covered with low-carbon steel.

The 7.62x39 as a Parent Round

In addition to its performance in one of the most iconic rifles in the world, the 7.62x39 is also a parent round for military and commercial ammunition. The 7.62x39 has acted as a parent round for:

  • M43: The 7.62x39 is a parent round of the M43, the original Soviet version of which comes with 123 grain boat tail bullets. The round features a Berdan primer and an extreme taper, which is what gives the AK-47 magazine its distinct curved shape. The bullets have undergone some slight changes over the years, but the rest of the round remains pretty much the same as its original manufacturing.
  • M67: The M67 is the result of Yugoslavian experimentation with the M43. They were looking for a deadlier round that traveled faster and boasted greater accuracy than the M43. The result is a shorter round with a flatter base – and serious wound trauma.
  • Commercial Variations: Wolf Ammunition, among other commercial brands manufactured in Russia, are known for making variations on this round. For example, you can get the 7.62x39 with a full metal jacket, soft point or hollow point, depending on your ammunition needs.
  • Chinese Steel Core: Not to be outdone by the Russians, the Chinese have likewise started manufacturing a variant on the M43-style round with a steel core. These are not currently legal for commercial purchase in the United States because the law classifies them as an armor-piercing round for handguns. This classification is purely a bureaucratic one: The specs of the round make it illegal, not any proven ability to pierce armor.

This cartridge is comparable to the .30-30 Winchester, having a similar bullet diameter and weight. However, this comparison is not entirely accurate, as the .30-30 is able to fire heavier bullets at higher velocities. Even so, the 7.62x39 remains an effective cartridge for taking medium game as far out as 200 yards. The effectiveness of this round increases by using widely available soft point and hollow point bullets.

A major advantage of 7.62x39 ammunition is that it is available in nearly every corner of the globe. All major manufacturers of ammunition produce this cartridge, and it's easy to find as a military surplus item. Having been mass produced by the Soviets, the Eastern Bloc countries and even China, AK-47 rifles and SKS rifles have been employed in almost every part of the planet. This global availability has created massive demand for 7.62x39mm ammunition. 7.62x39 surplus ammo is especially popular, as they are comparatively inexpensive and are packaged in steel, airtight cases – which protect the ammo from moisture and greatly extend the storage life. Another major benefit is that 7.62x39 bulk ammo is plentiful, inexpensive, and easy to stockpile.

When asked to name a firearm chambered for 7.62x39 ammo, most shooters will respond by mentioning the AK-47 or SKS, but there are actually several other commercially available rifles in bolt action and single shot configurations. Firing military surplus ammunition from these civilian rifles will generally yield a better group than can be obtained from the military rifles. Ammunition manufacturers, however, know that this cartridge is also used in sporting applications, and they produce several options in their premium hunting lines. With the right rifle, the accuracy of these ammo options is reportedly sub minute-of-angle.

The round continues to see extensive use in the Russian military in AKM rifles and rifles derived from this model. However, despite what gun grabbers would have you believe, the round also has legitimate uses in sporting and is popular among hunters for that reason. It’s not quite as powerful as the .30-30 Win, but it has a very similar ballistic profile – which is why it’s popular for shooting, for example, whitetail deer.

What’s more, it’s a common round for AR builds. A number of companies produce AR builds accommodating the 7.62x39 cartridge, including Colt, Armalite, Olympic Arms, Rock River Arms and others. Likewise, custom builds and conversion kits are available that allow you to use the most prolific Soviet round on America’s favorite rifle.

FAQ

What rifles shoot 7.62x39 ammo?

Although there are various rifles chambered for the 7.62x39mm round, the military versions remain the most iconic, most notably the SKS and the AK-47. Beyond these rifles, Colt, Armalite, Olympic Arms, Rock River Arms, and others have manufactured firearms for the 7.62x39. Within the recent past, this caliber has become a favorite in AR-15 style guns.

Is 7.62x39mm ammo corrosive?

While not all 7.62x39mm ammunition is corrosive, some is. If the ammo in question is a commercial ammo made in the U.S. for the civilian market, then it should be non-corrosive. On the other hand, if it’s military surplus ammo, then it is almost always corrosive. To be sure, check the ammo’s primer. If it’s a Berdan primer, the ammo is corrosive, as it leaves a residue of salt after being fired. To solve the problem, simply wash the weapon after use in hot soapy water to remove the salt and protect it against corrosion.

What is the difference between .300 blackout ammo and 7.62x39 ammo?

Although the 7.62x39mm and .300 AAC Blackout ammo are similar, there are differences between the rounds. When the U.S. developed the .300 AAC, it was in an attempt to make it ballistically similar to the 7.62 Soviet, which it succeeded at. Where the rounds differ is that the .300 has a much greater range of versatility. Commercial ammo variations can be found in both subsonic and supersonic variants, and bullets can range from 78 to 240 grain, where the 7.62 bullet weight spread is between 108-150 grain. And while the Soviet round is commonly found in FMJ, the Blackout comes in a wide range of hollow points and polymer tips.

What is the effective range of 7.62x39 ammo?

The effective range of 7.62x39mm ammo is between 200 and 250 yards, depending on various factors.

What is the best 7.62x39 ammo for hunting hogs?

There is a wide variety of commercial ammo available in 7.62x39mm for hunting hogs. Most agree that 123 grain is optimal, as it carries enough stopping power for a humane harvest without damaging too much of the hog. Opt for a reputable brand, such as Winchester or Federal, or a specialty round from Hornady or Barnes.

Does the Russian military still use the 7.62x39mm?

The Russian military does still use the 7.62x39mm round, although the 5.45x39mm is its standard issue.

  • JOhn said:

    Lots of FTF's...choose something else

  • Raizen Kane said:

    I have a Chinese type 56 (SKS copy). TulAmmo is about all I fire out of it. It's inexpensive, powerful, and all around a good buy. The one drawback to it is the fact that steel cased Russian ammo is dirty after the shots go off. I had to spend about an hour cleaning the powder residue and metal fouling from my rifle. But I wouldn't trade that for nothing. Thanks Russia!! You make such great things.

  • SGriffithUSMC said:

    Fired 200 rounds pretty quickly through my AK. Not a single misfire or cookoff. With the sky rocketing ammo prices lately I definelty got a really good deal

    This ammo is good no jams or weak bullets

  • Justin said:

    I had read the comment below me that the ammo wasn’t good and “reliable” truth be told all of my ammo shot Nicely and I had no jams. Good ammo

  • Mutant Operator said:

    I don't have high standards for steel case 7.62x39, all I ask is that it goes bang. This stuff does not. I purchased 2000 rounds of which I have so far fired about 200. Roughly 10% of them were duds. This is not an exaggeration, I had on average 3 duds in every 30 round magazine. It isn't my weapon's fault (CMMG MK47 Mutant), every round had a solid primer strike. I have previously run thousands of rounds of everything from Tula to subsonic Brown Bear to Romanian surplus without a single mishap. One more thing to note is that the cases are marked as "Tulammo." You can even see it in the photograph on the site here. This makes me suspect it of being reloaded steel case, though I could be mistaken. Regardless, this is unreliable and you shouldn't waste your money.

    This is not the first 1000 rounds I've bought of this ammo. Never had a misfire, fairly clean burn and accurate. I'll be back for more when this is gone.

  • Jimbillyjoebob said:

    I feed this ammo to my AK on a regular basis and it never has choked on it yet. It is not the cleanest burning, but for the money you can't beat it.

  • Chris said:

    Great value! Good ammo, no misfires at all.

  • TB said:

    So far so good. I've shot at least three hundred rounds so far, and through my Windham Weaponry AR, no jams or misfires.

  • beth said:

    I have shot about 100 rounds of this lot but have shot 1000s of this ammo with not one bad round they all went bang. as for the customer service at ammo.com and the fast shipping i will be using them again highly recommend.

  • Alexix said:

    Works great had only one round not fire out of 500, down to my last 200. I ordered 1000. I waited 15 seconds then ejected the round checked it out, the pin did strike the primer put the round in another old AK and it shot. Was able to get under 2" groupings with scope but 4" groupings with iron sights at 100 meters out.

  • Muzzle Energy said:

    Great stuff. Wolf always works great in AK/SKS platforms and have never had a problem. The only draw-back is that its not reloadable. The only reason I put two stars on "value" is because of the skyrocketing price of ammo lately. That's not Ammo.com's fault, just supply and demand. Hopefully the prices come back down soon.

  • Maelstrom3of2 said:

    I only had a couple issues with this ammo, but the problems are most likely to do with an experiment I'm undertaking. I HAVE NOT cleaned my AK in a long time to test different ammo performance under absurd conditions. I've found that the polymer coated ammo does not run as good as the zinc coated ammo, when NO LUBRICATION IS USED, and carbon build up has been allowed in the receiver. Bear in mind if your AK or SKS is cleaned an oiled I'm sure you wont have any issue.

  • Harry said:

    would not jam in a AR47 or AK47 great ammo need more plz....

  • b said:

    Not much to say. 500 rds..through my sks. 2 FTE''s reasonably priced,came in 3 days,and I can shoot at the local range. Great ammo..great service...Thanks!!

  • Darren said:

    This is the most accurate ammo that I have ever used. I have been using this ammo in my SKS's for years. It's the best !!!

  • John said:

    This is sealed ammo and Boat tail. wolf isnt. better accuracy. tula isnt as good either. Golden is the best money can buy. John

  • Bruce said:

    You guys are fast and the ammo price is the best, never had a round to fail, I'm a pleased customer!

  • Jack said:

    I tried out a box or two of Tulamo prior to my purchase from you. It works really well in my newly purchased Ruger Mini 30. After sighting in the Ruger it would consistantly blow the center out of a bullseye target at 50 yards. That's what I really wanted it to do.

    Having purchased nearly a case of this ammo at a local retailer in Boise, I have run this ammunition through a couple of weapons, both of which couldn't be any more different in nature and operation, only to find out that this round, which resembles a "mini 30-30 or 32 win " can only be best described as the best ammunition I have used commercially produced to date. It feeds very well, with NO hangups, no ejection malfunctions and quite frankly- very smooth,-even in a comparison to any other spire tip traditional "AK-47" round to date. This ammunition has not yet been analyzed for speed, etc as I did not take a chronograph with me when shooting this ammunition. I would recommend anybody that owns a firearm that is chambered for this round to try it. Very nice, indeed.

    It worked perfectly in my Yugo sks, cycled and ejected with no problems,military grade ammo

  • CHIEF said:

    Fired 500 rounds without a hick-up. Was very clean ammo that left little fowling in my AK-47. Have already ordered another 500 rounds for future range time.

  • Bosscott said:

    I bought 7 boxes of this ammo, and was surprised with the quick shipping. This ammo groups much better than the cheap foreign imported steel cased ammo.

  • mwcox said:

    For years Barnaul has made the best and most consistant ammo for 7.62X39 you could buy. Brown Bear, Silver Bear and Golden Bear are the best you can buy and produce 1 MOA in my homebuilt AK rifles. Buy it with confidence. It is the best.

    No misfires everything worked well about 150 rounds

    I have used this ammo for about ten years now hunting whitetails. I have dropped 220lb bucks with one shot kills. This year dropped a nice 8 point at 225 yrds. with 123grn sp wolf steel case out of a 16" POF Ar.p. so much for those who think 762x39 isnt a very good deer round and so much for people who think wolf steel case ammo is not very good!

  • Bubba said:

    You can not go wrong getting product from this company. Had got my order in 2 days. Would recommend to everyone.

    I used to buy tula ammo fequently. I don't whats gotten into them lately but lately the ammo quality I have recieved sucks. I used to run tula through both my ak in 7.62x39 and then 9x18 in my makarov. 9x18 still works great but for some reason the 7.62x39 has preformed terribly lately and I won't buy tula ammunition ever again because ive lost all confiedence in this ammunition. Lately after running tula through my ak after every 2 or 3 rounds I expierence a failure to fire. The ammo is clearly pressed on the primer where the firing pin has struck but still it doesn't shoot and simular ammo such as wolf or brown bear functions flawlessly through my rifle. So I don't believe its the rifle but the ammo its self and I will not purchase from tula again of this is the quality I can't expect.

    Although I only had time to shoot 50 rounds selected at random from various boxes, every round fired true with minute of accuracy after sight in-house

  • Ryan said:

    just got a Russian SKS and have put 2000rds of Tula Ammo through it with absolutely no problems at all.

  • Richard said:

    This ammo is garbage, casing expands and jams inside the barrel/ bcg. It's almost a scam, this trash shouldn't even be called ammo. Such a waste of money. Now I have a 1,000 rounds of useless trash.

  • Valdez said:

    I have used the brand in the past and it still is a good shell. I just shoot at targets but I have to admit I keep a good supply because I don't trust our government. I have worked for the government for 28 years so I have a reason to know.

  • BRUCE said:

    Good ammunition. Feeds, fires and ejects without any problems. Accuracy good out to 300 yds. Sealed and coated casings are good for long term storage. I will purchase more in the future.

  • TomInJax said:

    At the range, I was able to produce nice clean 2 inch groups without a stand or brace. Never had one misfire. TulAmmo seems to have a reputation for making dirty ammo, but the rifle was easy to clean with much less residue than I expected. I will be ordering more! (Don't tell my wife!)

  • Assocks said:

    Cycled 200 straight in a chinese sks did not jam nor misfire once

  • M60Gunnr said:

    I've never been satisfied with the accuracy of my SKS. I know it's limitations, yet I thought we could do better. We just did. The Silver Bear ammo consistently grouped tighter and closer to my point of aim than the Tula or Wolf ammo. It's not as easy to find as the other Russian ammo, and usually costs a buck or two more per box. Take the time and spend the extra money. IMHO, the only step up is the expensive "match rounds" (i.e. Winchester). That'll get you a marginal increase in accuracy for double the cost. The Bear line, made in the Barnaul plant, is simply the best choice.

  • Michael Anthony said:

    if you have an AK just shoot the lacquered stuff.. if you have an AR this is the best stuff i've seen besides american brass. very clean and easy on your carbine the metal is softer than milspec receivers and much much softer than your barrel. this is actually true with most steel cased ammo however this hasn't even scratched the finish on the receiver after 180 rounds that ran flawlessly on an AR15 pistol chambered in 7.62x39.

  • Neil said:

    Tested 40 rounds in a Mini-30, no feeding issues, all fired nicely. At least hit a target at 50 yards. Was looking for feeding issues mainly. Had 70% failure rate with TULA stuff. BB was perfect 100%. Price was decent in these times and great delivery time from ammo.com.

  • solar cowboy said:

    this is very accurate and consistent ammo. At 100 yards with my cmmg 16 " barrel they kept marking the same spot.

  • chiraq said:

    super fast delivery great customer service

  • tmmomma said:

    Easy to order and service and shipping was good.

  • Silverain1 said:

    Excellent ammo at a tremendous price. I will continue to buy it and buy it here!

  • Country said:

    Don't get for AR in 7.62 HP`s do not cycle unless you give the feed channel where the lower meets the barrels chamber a little attention a file and sand paper did the trick after about 10 freaking hrs =( I gave 4 stars on quality cause I hate steel but oh well just shtf backup ammo I planned on storing Ty Ammo Dot net for speedy service o7

  • Doom slayer said:

    Bought this ammo a few months ago, shot about 200 rounds of it so far with no stoppages. Over all im happy with this tulammo.

  • Tripod said:

    So far I have shot 2 boxs, all rounds fired, grouping was O.K. for cheap ammo. Planning to buy more.

  • Cingetor said:

    I've fired around 200 rounds of this ammo now through a Draco mini and have had no problems at all - just load, point, and shoot. Good, sturdy, light infantry bullet. Will definitely continue using it.

  • James Bond Bennett said:

    Great value for money ! Same quality you find in a more expensive round.

  • Bennie said:

    Minor problems with jamming, but overall, it performs very well.

  • Glen said:

    I need all brass to practice at my local indoor range & not much to pick from at an affordable price range so I took a shot with this & it worked perfectly in my Palmetto state armory ak47 with a magpul pmag.

  • XXX said:

    I use this ammo for my AK. Overall I am very happy with it. Good ammo at a good price.

  • jerry said:

    works fine in my 2 ak47s. never any jams

  • James said:

    Good ammo.. I've shot thousands of rounds of wolf ammo through my Ak no issues

  • rockman42 said:

    I went to the range to try out my new AK47. The ammo was what I had expected every round fired fine. The biggest problem is that ammo has become very expensive. I very conscious of how much I will shoot.

  • domstang1 said:

    I do not have misfires with my Ruger Mini 30 and American ammo. I have fired 120 rounds of Tula so far from my Ruger Mini 30. Four (4) boxes had two (2) misfires each. Two (2) boxes had one (1) misfire each . There should not be any misfires. This ammo could cost someone their life one day.

  • Peezy said:

    Everything ran clear no jams and doesn’t dirty up my ar-15. Worth a buy will be buying more soon.

  • Brysterman said:

    Very reliable ammo, burns clean and consistent velocity.... nice brass casings and you can't beat the price.. its cheaper than reloading... for accurate and hunting rounds is the only viable reason for reloading, unless you love doing it !! then go for it !

  • Ivan said:

    Bullet goes bang. Bangs well. 10/10 would recommend.

  • marty said:

    outstanding brass ammo. Takes third world ak to at least oh about 1.5. Modern ammo makes the difference.

  • Gun man said:

    Used on my AR platform great ammo

  • Ras111 said:

    So far seems pretty good. Definitely puts out a lot of smoke when shooting though. But at this point I’m just happy to have some brass case 7.62x39 ammo.. Shooting an Wasr 10 circa 2020... with no issues so far.
