following brands of 7.62x39 ammo: 1 - Brown Bear 2 - Silver Bear 3 - Tul ammo 4 - Golden Tiger 5 - Wolf I am getting ready to order a bunch of ammo and thought it would be better to ask about good/dependable brands in advance.. tia |

Re: 7.62x39 info
Order wolf military classic. Second choice would be the Tulammo.
I dont have velocities, never cared to shoot any of it over the chrony. But the Wolf military classic is the most reliable ive tried of all the steel cased ammo. And tulammo is only second because it pretty much the same stuff in a different box.

Re: 7.62x39 info
I've used Wolf JSP before. This deer was taken with it. Like mentioned before, I bought what was cheapest at the time. With it being so cheap, I do not reload for that caliber.

Re: 7.62x39 info
if you like that gun though, you might want to have the capability to reload if needed though. 25$ set of dies and a box of 20 commercial loaded brass for emergency

Re: 7.62x39 info
Most AK variants are pretty hard on the brass, which is why i feel its wise to just buy a load of the steel stuff.

Re: 7.62x39 info

Re: 7.62x39 info
Man those are cheap strippers. Al the strippers around here are high dollar and come with bad attitudes.
