Product Overview
Brown Bear 7.62x39mm 125gr SP ammunition provides an economical hunting solution for AK and SKS owners who want expanding bullet performance without premium prices. The slightly heavier 125-grain soft point bullet at 2,350 fps generates 1,533 ft-lbs of muzzle energy—enough for effective terminal performance on deer-sized game at woods hunting distances. For budget-conscious hunters, Brown Bear SP delivers functional hunting capability at steel-case prices.
This ammunition is particularly well-suited for pest control and predator hunting where premium bullets aren't necessary. Coyotes, feral dogs, and similar-sized animals are anchored quickly by the expanding soft point, making this an excellent choice for ranchers protecting livestock. The low cost per round allows shooters to practice with the same ammunition they'll hunt with, ensuring point-of-aim familiarity when shots count.
Wild hog hunters on a budget will find Brown Bear SP adequate for close-range encounters in thick brush. While the steel case and bi-metal jacket construction make this ammunition non-reloadable, the savings compared to brass-cased hunting loads offset that limitation. For hunters who view their 7.62x39mm rifles as practical working tools rather than precision instruments, Brown Bear SP gets the job done affordably.
- Most affordable expanding bullet option available
- Heavier 125gr bullet provides good penetration
- Effective for deer, hogs, and predator control
- Allows practice with hunting ammunition economically
- Reliable expansion on medium game
- Steel cases are not reloadable
- Bi-metal jacket may be restricted at some ranges
- Less consistent expansion than premium bonded bullets
- Limited effective range compared to premium hunting loads
- May leave more fouling than brass-cased alternatives
