PMC Bronze 7.62×39 delivers 123-grain full-metal-jacket projectiles at 2350 feet per second, engineered for shooters running AK-pattern rifles, SKS carbines, and other platforms chambered in 7.62x39mm. This load uses a copper-jacketed ball bullet — the lead core sits fully enclosed in a heavy copper jacket — which produces minimal expansion and deep, straight-line penetration through targets. You’ll find this construction ideal for range drills, zeroing optics, and function testing, but not recommended for hunting applications where terminal expansion matters.
Load Profile
The PMC Bronze line balances brass cases, non-corrosive Boxer primers, and consistent powder charges to deliver reliable ignition and feeding across a wide range of firearms and temperatures. At 2350 fps from the muzzle, this 123-grain FMJ generates 1495 foot-pounds of energy — enough to ring steel at distance and cycle semi-automatic actions without short-stroking.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Follow the four rules of firearm safety at all times — treat every firearm as loaded, never point at anything you’re not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, know your target and what lies beyond.
- Verify current state and local ammunition laws in your jurisdiction before purchasing.
- Inspect ammunition before use — discard rounds with visible damage to cases, primers, or projectiles.
