Product info of 7.62×39mm FMJ 122 GR

The 7.62x39mm cartridge is a widely used intermediate caliber that was first developed in the Soviet Union during World War II. It is most commonly associated with the AK-47 and SKS rifles, but is also used in a variety of other firearms. One popular type of 7.62x39mm ammunition is the FMJ (full metal jacket) 122-grain variant.

The 7.62x39mm FMJ 122-grain cartridge is a standard weight for this caliber and is suitable for use in most rifles chambered in 7.62x39mm. The FMJ bullet is a solid, one-piece design that is coated in a layer of copper or other metal. This coating helps to protect the bullet from deformation and ensures consistent performance.

The 7.62x39mm FMJ 122-grain cartridge has a muzzle velocity of 2,350 feet per second (fps) and a muzzle energy of 1,550 foot-pounds (ft-lbs). This makes it a relatively fast and powerful round, suitable for use in both short and long-range shooting. The round is also known for its accuracy and consistent performance.

One of the benefits of the 7.62x39mm FMJ 122-grain cartridge is its affordability. 7.62x39mm ammunition is generally less expensive than other intermediate calibers such as the .308 Winchester or 5.56x45mm, making it a popular choice among shooters who want to save money while still getting quality performance. This is especially true for those who are just starting out and want to try out different ammunition types without spending a lot of money.

Another benefit of the 7.62x39mm FMJ 122-grain cartridge is its versatility. It is suitable for a variety of shooting applications, from target shooting and hunting to self-defense and tactical scenarios. The round is also a good choice for those who want to use the same ammunition for both their rifle and their pistol-caliber carbine.

In terms of recoil, the 7.62x39mm FMJ 122-grain cartridge has a moderate level of recoil. This is typical for 7.62x39mm ammunition and is manageable for most shooters. However, it is more than many other intermediate calibers such as 5.56x45mm and less than the .308 Winchester. This makes it a good choice for those who are new to shooting or have sensitive hands.

In terms of Terminal ballistics, the 7.62x39mm FMJ 122-grain cartridge has limited expansion and penetration when compared to other intermediate calibers such as the .223 Remington or .308 Winchester. This is due to the design of the bullet, as the FMJ bullet does not expand upon impact and instead relies on its kinetic energy to cause damage. This makes it less suitable for hunting or self-defense, but still a good choice for target shooting and range training.

In conclusion, the 7.62x39mm FMJ 122-grain cartridge is a reliable and accurate round that is suitable for both target shooting and tactical scenarios. Its affordability, versatility, and moderate recoil make it a popular choice among shooters of all skill levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced shooter, the 7.62x39mm FMJ 122-grain cartridge is a great choice for your next trip to the range or for your tactical training. Keep in mind that for hunting or self-defense, it would be best to choose expanding bullet to maximize the terminal performance.
