20 Rounds of 124gr FMJ 7.62x39mm Ammo by Fiocchi

On July 3, 1876, an accountant by the name of Giulio Fiocchi decided to go into the ammunition business. He took over a struggling plant that produced small arms ammunition and founded Fiocchi Munizioni – Fiocchi Ammunition – and set about coming up with ways to not only meet but surpass the needs of that era’s shooters. At the time there were a lot of changes going on, including the breech loader replacing muzzle loaders, and then, before much time had passed, black powder was almost entirely done away with. Fiocchi stayed ahead by designing and manufacturing their own production equipment, something they do to this day, and broadening their production horizons substantially. Today they’re one of Italy’s oldest and largest ammunition manufacturers.

At 124 grain these are lightweight rounds, and that means they’re going to move with some impressive speed. They’re FMJ rounds made specifically for target practice, tactical training, and plinking; if you’re looking to spend some time honing your marksmanship skills, this is the ammo for you. Each round zips down-range like lightening at a muzzle velocity of 2375 feet per second and tears into your stationary targets with serious force at a muzzle energy of 1552 foot-pounds. These are new-production, non-corrosive, brass-cased rounds with boxer primer, so you can reload them and load your gun a second time. Avid shooters who have used this ammunition say it feed and ejects dependably and performs as a reliable target round.

You get 20 target rounds for your 7.62x39mm-chambered rifle in this box of ammunition from Fiocchi. Fiocchi’s headquarters are located in Lecco, Italy, exactly where they’ve been since the beginning, but they also have a plant in Ozark, Missouri, for distribution here in the United States. At times when the demand overwhelms their production abilities in Missouri extra ammunition is shipped in from Italy. Get yourself to the range – or, better yet, to an outdoor spot – and enjoy the full power of your rifle by perforating some paper or puncturing some pop cans. Order one box to give your rifle a light snack, order five to give it a more substantial meal; whatever you do, just order!
