Sterling 7.62x39mm ammunition (brand part no. 8698779967284) pairs a 123-grain full metal jacket bullet with a polished steel case, giving AK-pattern rifle owners a dependable option for high-volume range days. Sterling is imported and distributed through Global Ordnance, which sources steel-cased rifle ammunition built for shooters who want performance without paying brass-case prices. Each round uses a Boxer primer for consistent ignition, and the FMJ bullet feeds reliably through semi-automatic actions without the cost of an expanding projectile. For plinking, drilling, or breaking in a new AK or SKS, this load is built to run box after box.
Key Specifications
- The chambering is 7.62x39mm, the standard round for AK-pattern rifles and SKS carbines.
- The bullet weighs 123 grains and uses a full metal jacket, feeding reliably through semi-auto actions without expanding.
- Because the jacket fully encloses the core, the bullet holds together through the feed cycle instead of deforming like an expanding hunting round.
- The case is made of polished steel, keeping the cost per round low for high-volume range sessions.
- Each round is Boxer-primed, the primer standard trusted for consistent ignition across rifles and pistols.
- Each box holds 20 rounds, a practical quantity for a range trip without committing to a full case.
- Per-round cost lands near $0.71, a reasonable price point for regular range use.
- The box ships at approximately 0.767 lbs, worth factoring in when planning a bulk order.
