Republic Training and Range ™ 7.62x39mm Ammo 123 Grain FMJ Lacquered Steel Case ammo review offers the following information; Republic Training and Range ™ is made in Russia and offers a premium quality ammo products at low bargain sale prices featuring steel casings and berdan primers. One of the most well-known rifle cartridges around the world, the 7.62x39 is an intermediate rifle cartridge that was developed by the Soviets during World War II. The 7.62x39 cartridge is synonymous with the AK-47, SKS rifles and the RPD and RPK light machine guns. 7.62x39 is a .30 caliber cartridge that provides good range performance along with solid terminal ballistics.

I bought 500 rounds of it two weeks ago from Target Sports. Haven't shot any of it yet, so no comments there.

Looks like standard commie stuff, just lacquer coated, which isn't quite the norm these days. Don't like the packaging, since it's totally unlike any other combloc 7.62, so it messes up my storage scheme.

^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks let me know how it cycles. It says Range ammo so maybe they are giving us a heads up.

Any update on how this x39 ammo shoots?

I just ordered 1000rds as the Russia/Ukraine mess escalates in fear this may not be available much longer as other Russian manufactured ammo is be retracted.
