Russia’s Tula Ammunition has specialized in the production of steel cased cartridges for the better part of the past 100 years. Should you favor chambering cost-effective steel cased 7.62x39mm cartridges in your AK-47, then there are few more experienced operations from which to source them than Tula’s. Sure, you can’t reload them — but at less than a quarter per round they make a great investment.

This cartridge’s 154 grain soft point bullet is stellar for hunting, as it will deform and expand after impact to provide massive take down damage. The bullet’s metal jacket will also preserve your bore against rapid fouling that would impact your accuracy over time. Thanks to the round’s non-corrosive Berdan primer it will stay fresh and ready to fire for several years, so even if you don’t go through this box of 1,000 right away it will be right there for you when its time comes.
