Sterling 7.62x39mm 123-grain FMJ ammunition (part no. 8698779971205) is steel-cased rifle ammo built for shooters who run high volumes through AK-pattern rifles and SKS carbines without steel-case sticker shock. Sterling loads a 123-grain full metal jacket bullet over a steel case, trading reloadability for a lower cost per round on one of the most widely fired military-surplus calibers in the world. The load feeds and functions like the mil-spec ammunition AK-platform rifles were designed around, without the price tag of premium brass-cased loads. Sold as a full 1,000-round case, this is rifle ammunition built for range days measured in hundreds of rounds.
