1000 Rounds of 124gr HP 8M3 7.62x39 Ammo by Wolf

Mikhail Kalashnikov conceived the AK-47 as a rifle for defense and not offense. Unfortunately 7.62x39 ammo that is designed specifically for self-defense is something of a rarity, as FMJ rounds are by and large the norm. Wolf’s 8M3 ammo fixes that problem.

This round’s 124 grain hollow point bullet doesn’t rely on brute force or tumble around within soft tissue to deliver effective terminal ballistics for personal protection. Instead its jacket features special, internal skives which enable the bullet to open up and track a wide wound channel into its target. The 8M3 projectile isn’t quite on par with a high-tech soft point in terms of penetration and expansion, but its ability to penetrate to around 14” while shedding lots of shrapnel makes it super effective at quickly incapacitating a threat.

This ammo is magnetic – not just for the steel in its bullet’s jacket, but also for its steel case. Steel cases are non-reloadable, but Wolf does use non-corrosive Berdan primers that protect an AK from rust. Each round in this case of 1,000 has a sealed neck and primer for greater resistance to water infiltration in storage or in the field.
