Hornady Frontier 7.62x39mm ammunition (part no. FR420) loads a 123-grain full metal jacket bullet over brass cases, built for shooters who want Hornady manufacturing quality without premium hunting-ammo pricing. Hornady created the Frontier line specifically for high-volume range use, so this AK-pattern and SKS staple gets the same production standards as Hornady’s other ammunition at a range-friendly price. The 123-grain FMJ bullet feeds reliably without expanding, matching the mil-spec ballistics AK-platform rifles were designed around. Twenty rounds to the box, this is rifle ammunition built to run hard through a training day.
