Kaiser 7.62x39mm123gr FMJ 20rds

Some guns are particular about steel-cased ammunition. The AK-47 is generally not one of them. The rifle’s extractor is often too vigorous for brass cases, as a matter of fact, and can strike clean across their rims because of it.

But Kaiser’s steel cases won’t just keep an over-exuberant extractor happy. They will also save you money, because steel, as any metallurgist will inform you, is cheaper than brass.

You won’t be reloading this ammo. Its steel cases are too rigid for that, and its noncorrosive Berdan primers’ twin flash holes would only complicate the act even further.

This ammo’s lacquered, corrosion-resistant cases are seated with bimetal-jacketed bullets, which contain steel and attract a magnet. Just another attempt by the Turkish manufacturer to save you money, albeit one that prohibits this 7.62×39 from use at many gun ranges.
