How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 400 yards.

Product Overview
Wolf's Polyformance 123-grain FMJ is a steel-cased full metal jacket 7.62x39mm load made for recreational, competitive and tactical shooting. Wolf loads a plain full metal jacket with a closed nose, and Polyformance is its polymer-coated steel case. It leaves the muzzle at 2,362 fps with 1,524 ft-lbs, the fastest start and the most energy of the caliber's ball loads.
Estimated recoil sits close to every other ball load in the caliber, a touch above Tula's 122-grain FMJ. The closed jacket keeps it to paper and steel.
If you're cross-shopping, PMC's Bronze 123-grain FMJ is the same bullet weight 12 fps slower in a brass case. Red Army Standard's 124-grain FMJ-BT is also 12 fps back, on a boat-tail bullet a grain heavier.
- 32 fps up on Tula's 122-grain FMJ at the muzzle
- 29 ft-lbs over Golden Tiger's 124-grain FMJ-BT at the muzzle
- Within 3 ft-lbs of Red Army Standard's 124-grain FMJ-BT on a lighter bullet
- A steel case, which will not reload and is magnetic, so some ranges refuse it. PMC's Bronze 123-grain FMJ is the brass-cased ball load in the caliber
- A closed jacket with no exposed lead. Prvi Partizan's 123-grain PSP is a soft point at the same bullet weight
