The Wolf Performance Military Classic 7.62x39mm 124gr FMJ rounds deliver reliable, economical performance for AK-pattern rifles, SKS carbines, and other 7.62x39mm firearms. Each round exits the muzzle at 2402 feet per second, generating 1588 foot-pounds of energy downrange. Steel-cased construction with Berdan primers keeps per-round cost low without sacrificing feeding reliability in semi-automatic platforms.
Built for the Box
Wolf Performance manufactures these cartridges with bi-metal jacketed projectiles over steel cases, a proven combination for high-volume shooting where brass recovery isn’t a priority. The 124-grain bullet weight sits at the standard for 7.62x39mm military ball loads, delivering predictable trajectory out to 300 yards and consistent cycling in factory-chambered rifles. This 1000-round case ships in boxes of 20, each sealed at the plant for moisture protection during transport and storage.

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.
- Observe the four universal rules of firearms safety at all times: treat every firearm as loaded, never point at anything you don’t intend to shoot, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and know your target and what’s beyond it.
- Verify compliance with state and local ammunition laws before ordering. Some jurisdictions restrict steel-core or bi-metal jacketed projectiles for indoor range use.
- Inspect each round before chambering. Steel cases may show surface oxidation during storage without affecting function. Discard any cartridge showing deformation, corrosion at the case mouth, or loose bullets.
