Wolf 7.62x39 ammo

[TANK1135]

If you can find it Wolf 122 gr hp in the [black and yellow box] is non magnetix and has a copper jacket with a lead core.They make 2 verisons 1 with bi metal jacket and 1 with copper.Also the 223 55 gr is made the same way.

I don't think they have made Wolf Yellow Box for years now.

I saw this stuff at SGA, might be good to get some of this.

Any idea if this is brass cased? Because as you know, many ranges not only don't allow magnetic projectiles, but don't allow steel case as well. I e-mailed SG to ask them but I am sure they won't respond until tomorrow.

yes

Interesting sale.
I've tried handloads with blunt(er) bullets, and while they did not feed perfectly in my AK or x39 AR, my SKSs will eat them like candy.

This is what you're looking for:



Tough to find, but not impossible, on Gunbroker and this board. Erg, used to buy it for $100 per 1K 10 years ago... wish I'd bought even more!

Lol best quote ever

I am sure they won't be any problems with that ammo cycling through. I have shot 1,000s of different rounds through my SKS over the years and all of them pretty much act the same. Norinco, Wolf, Tula, Yugo, Fiocchi , Egyptian, and some Hornady Zombie ammo plus what ever else I have come across and the SKS keeps on going. I might buy a batch of that and see how it goes.

[Full Clip]

Ha, yeah, the SKS never fails.

BTW, I've even reloaded these flat-nose bullets to good effect in my x39 AR and SKSs.

[NOTABIKER]

i now have 2 SKSs to feed, my stash seems small now.

Just heard back from SG Ammo, that deal above is steel cased. Bummer man, the search for M67 continues. There are cases all over Gunbroker but does it really make fiscal sense to pay upwards of .40 per round to shoot Berdan Primed Corrosive?

[Vlad 11]

Yea that stuff is copperwashed steel case.

What range cares about the case? thats lame. The projectile is all that matters

You can get reloadable non-corr for .50 rnd and sell the brass for .10 ea

The most fiscal sense is reloading tho.

[Cowboy T]

Yep. Fiocchi sells affordable Boxer/brass 7.62x39, as does Prvi Partizan. Both are non-magnetic, and I know that because that's what we sell on our range (no magnetic projectiles allowed--steel case is OK).

To me, it makes no sense to pay close to that per round for Berdan/corrosive Yugo, when this newer, better stuff's available, and easily reloadable. For bullets, if you can cast your own, so much the better. Lee's c312-155-2R would be a good choice, and since max pressure for 7.62x39 is the same as the original .357 Magnum pressure limits (45,000 PSI), cast bullets are actually feasible in this application. Or you can just use Berry's, say with some 2400 powder.

You mean this stuff?

.54 per round.

or this?

Also .54 per round. Too much money for me to shoot much of it. For that much money, I would rather shoot my .30-06.

Most ranges sell brass to a reloader. One range I talked to said they don't want steel mixed in, takes them to much time to pick out, or they don't get as good of a price I guess. I wanted to say, ever heard of a magnet?

Yeah you think they would use a magnet...In this day and age and being in CA they should NOT be making it harder to shoot...They should be doing anything they can to promote the sport

also cant they just require a case catcher if you shoot steel case if they are too lazy to sort it?

im thinking they really dont want the type of "People" that usually shoot the steel case ammo
