more detailed testing results on FMJ 122 GR 2396 FPS 500 RDS Bulk Ammo became available, starting

in 1947

the cartridge was tweaked by the Ulyanovsk Machine Building Plant to improve its accuracy and penetration.

Initially,

the boat tail had been omitted because the Soviet designers had assumed (incorrectly) that it would only make a

difference at long ranges, when the bullet became subsonic, and the accuracy of the intermediate cartridge

at these

ranges was considered inconsequential. However, further testing showed that the boat tail improved accuracy

even at

shorter ranges, where the bullet was still supersonic. In order to maintain the overall mass of the bullet,

after adding

the boat tail, the ogival head section of the bullet was lengthened as well, making the bullet more streamlined

overall. The

maximum radius was now attained at some 15.95 mm from the tip and the overall length of the bullet

increased to

26.8 mm. In order to preserve

the total length of the cartridge, the case sleeve was shortened to 38.7 mm (and by rounding it is

customarily referred

to as 7.62×39.)

Additionally, the 7.62×39 FMJ new bullet had a core made of lead wrapped in low-carbon steel .

The shooting world doesn’t always consider 7.62×39 the most precise of cartridges but some of us

would argue that

reputation isn’t entirely fair. If you’re driving Ford Pinto with premium gasoline, you can’t expect race car

performance

, after all. To better appreciate and perhaps better understand the fuel of AK-47 shooters everywhere,

let’s explore the

7.62×39 Fast Facts

With more AK-47 rifles produced than any other firearm, the 7.62×39 is the world’s unofficial favorite
cartridge.
Although typically considered a range and self-defense round, the 7.62 consistently delivers 1,000 ft lbs
energy
at distances greater than 100 yards — enough to ethically kill whitetail.
The 7.62’s reputation for low accuracy is attributable to prevalent low quality rifles and ammunition,
not the
cartridge’s design itself.
Its designer once described the AK-47 as “a weapon of defense and not a weapon of offense.”
