The PMC Bronze 7.62x39mm 123 gr FMJ is a centerfire rifle ammunition load commonly used for training and general range work in 7.62×39 platforms such as AK-pattern rifles and SKS carbines. It uses a 123-grain full metal jacket (FMJ) projectile and is typically offered in 20-round boxes for convenient loading and storage.
Key Features
123-grain FMJ projectile Full metal jacket construction is designed for consistent feeding and is primarily suited to training and target shooting where expansion is not required.
7.62×39mm cartridge A widely used intermediate rifle cartridge with established performance in common semi-automatic rifles and carbines chambered for 7.62×39.
Published ballistic data Factory-listed velocity and trajectory figures are provided using a 20-inch test barrel to help set baseline expectations for external ballistics.
Range-oriented loading Intended for repeatable function and predictable point-of-impact characteristics during practice sessions.
