Product Overview
Golden Tiger 7.62x39mm 124gr FMJ-BT ammunition represents true Russian military specification quality for discerning AK and SKS shooters. Manufactured at the Vympel plant to the same standards as ammunition supplied to Russian armed forces, Golden Tiger delivers exceptional consistency and reliability. The 124-grain boat tail bullet at 2,330 fps provides 1,495 ft-lbs of muzzle energy with superior accuracy compared to most imported steel-case offerings.
Serious AK enthusiasts and collectors specifically seek out Golden Tiger for its reputation as one of the most accurate steel-cased 7.62x39mm loads available. The boat tail profile and consistent powder charges produce tight groups that rival brass-cased ammunition at a fraction of the cost. For shooters who participate in practical rifle competitions or want to test their AK's true accuracy potential, Golden Tiger is the benchmark against which other imports are measured.
This ammunition is also prized for long-term storage due to its sealed primers and lacquered steel cases that resist corrosion. Preppers and ammunition stackers appreciate the combination of quality and value Golden Tiger provides. While supplies can be inconsistent due to import restrictions, experienced 7.62x39mm shooters stock up whenever Golden Tiger becomes available.
