Customer Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MB said:

    This ammo was great for the range, mi issues with anything. It fired without any jams or other problems.

  • William said:

    Had the shipment in a few days, two days after they actually shipped it. Ammo was well packed and did not suffer in shipping. Ammo itself looks good, steel case, lacquered. Functioned well and had reasonable groups, 3.5 in compared to 1 in for handloads. Rifle was very dirty after firing , dirtier than with handloads by a large margin. Rifle cleaned up well though I wouldn't let it sit before cleaning after using this ammo.

  • Jon said:

    Great ammo for a great price, about 100 rounds in and no issues whatsoever.

  • Bcino said:

    Fire’s every round , no mis, jams will be ordering more

  • Ian said:

    I put 400 rounds through my ak-103 works flawlessly its good shooting ammo. I like that the cases are lacquer sealed. Probably won't be able to take it to an indoor range I did the magnet test with the bullet and it sticks so it's definitely a copper wash steel bullet but it goes through half inch mild steel. Definitely the cheapest ammo that I could find and there's no complaints on my behalf it's not corrosive at all.

  • Mabunsreng Ra said:

    Amazing production

  • Zack said:

    This stuff shoots straight, fires every single time, and makes tight groups! Some say it's corrosive but I'm telling you I've never seen one speck of rust or anything that would lead me to believe this. A true must try!

  • Joel said:

    I shoot at range only 40 rounds. And they all go really good. From a resolute mk47 CMMG

  • MHarris said:

    Consistent, accurate, and clean burning in my AK. Very happy with performance and I will purchase more.

  • Jacob said:

    Zero issues with this stuff. I only shoot brass and this is a great deal. Clean and smooth.

  • Gern Blanston said:

    Nearly every round would stick in the chamber not allowing the bolt to fully close. Other brands of 7.62 ran fine but Bellom ammo was a disappointment

  • Bill said:

    Mixed it up with some steel cased stuff I had so every other round in 30 round mag ran perfectly

  • [email protected] said:

    Great price and great shooting ammo. No FTF's or FTE's on my Galil ACE 7.62x39

  • Keddrick said:

    Great Ammo.

  • Justis said:

    Excellent rounds imo. Shot true, didn't have any issues both with the ammo and how it performed in my weapon. Took down a 100lb hog with ease from 50yds.

  • 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.

  • Iron Tom said:

    All my PPU ammo has been quality middle tear ammo. Solid and consistent brass case loads. Good accuracy too. It's not match accurate, but it's also not match ammo.

  • solar cowboy said:

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

  • JtAlmond said:

    The headstamp reads Tulammo, the box reads Telammo but it all goes bang and extracts like all the rest.

  • Richy said:

    It sounds It good and felt it just like i expect it.

  • Tim said:

    Value, quality, and performance all exceeded my expectations as I was hesitant on ordering. No problems or hiccups whatsoever. Will absolutely be ordering again in the near future.

  • JtAlmond said:

    I almost ordered these by mistake. I have a stash of the POINTED Soft point PSP that I run with excellent results out of my Maadi. The AK was designed to run spire pointed rounds which is correctly the PSP version of the PPU ammo. Round nose is a safety feature geared toward lever guns tubular magazines think 30-30 Winch or old tech 30-40 Krag. All of what I shot fed fired and ejected without complaint. Accuracy is acceptable.

  • Zman10915 said:

    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.

  • Jim said:

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

  • AX said:

    Ran it through my ZPAP M70. Shot pretty tight at 75 Yards.(2.5 inch grouping with Sig optic) Pleasantly surprised with the performance for the value. I give it a 4.5 out of 5.

  • scott said:

    Exact same as the steel case sst. They put it in brass, changed the name and charged 3x the price
