Product Overview
Tula 7.62x39mm 122gr FMJ ammunition is purpose-built for high-volume range training and recreational shooting. The steel-cased design keeps costs low, making it ideal for AK-47, SKS, and other 7.62x39mm platform owners who want to practice regularly without breaking the bank. With a muzzle velocity of 2,330 fps and 1,470 ft-lbs of energy, these rounds deliver consistent performance for drilling fundamentals, practicing mag dumps, and general plinking sessions.
This ammunition excels in tactical training scenarios where shooters need to run hundreds of rounds through their rifles in a single session. The full metal jacket design ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic and select-fire platforms, while the bi-metal jacket provides adequate penetration on steel targets at typical training distances. For preppers and stockpilers, Tula's affordability makes it practical to build deep ammunition reserves.
While not suitable for hunting due to the non-expanding FMJ bullet, this Tula load is perfectly adequate for home defense planning and familiarity training. Shooters can affordably practice malfunction drills, speed reloads, and target transitions knowing their rifle will cycle reliably. Note that the bi-metal jacket may not pass magnet tests at some indoor ranges, so verify range rules before shooting.
