The Prvi Partizan 7.62x39mm 123gr PSP is a brass-cased, Boxer-primed cartridge engineered for practice and target shooting in AK-pattern rifles and SKS carbines. Prvi Partizan stamps this load at 2461 fps muzzle velocity and 1653 ft-lbs of energy—delivering consistent downrange performance at a price point that keeps you on the range longer. The 123-grain pointed soft point expands on impact, making this load suitable for medium game where local regulations permit, while the brass case ensures reliable extraction and permits handloaders to resize and reload the brass for additional range sessions.
Built for the Box
Prvi Partizan has manufactured ammunition since 1928 in Užice, Serbia, supplying military, law enforcement, and commercial markets worldwide. The PP76239P uses a Boxer primer seated in reloadable brass, a pointed soft point projectile seated to 123 grains, and a powder charge calibrated to push the bullet to 2461 fps from a test barrel. This is a mid-velocity load for the 7.62x39mm cartridge—harder-hitting than many FMJ practice rounds, softer-recoiling than hot hunting loads. The pointed soft point opens on soft tissue, transferring energy faster than full metal jacket designs.

This load feeds reliably in AK-47, AKM, SKS, and other platforms chambered in 7.62×39 ammo. The brass case headstamps “PPU” and extracts cleanly from standard-spec chambers. Non-corrosive Boxer primers mean you can store unopened boxes for years without degradation.
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 safe firearm handling at all times — treat every gun as loaded, never point at anything you’re not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and know your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify current state and local laws before purchasing or transporting ammunition across state lines.
- Inspect each round before loading — discard ammunition with dented cases, exposed primers, or loose bullets.
