Description
If copper were only useful for making shell casings, then brass cased ammo wouldn’t be as expensive. Unfortunately copper is valuable for making a variety of necessary things, such as wiring and Moscow mule mugs. This 7.62×39 cartridge by Red Army Standard features a steel casing, so its price tag won’t demand that you shoot less.
rThis Russian-made round from the Tula Cartridge Plant has a casing that sports a thin layer of polymer. That protects it against rusting while it’s sitting in storage, and additionally reduces friction during cycling in order to prevent a jam that would interrupt the action. Red Army Standard’s 122 grain bullet is a full metal jacket. It doesn’t do anything extra during penetration of a soft target, which isn’t to say it will do said soft target any favors. Select an FMJ round for the range and you’ll be in good shape.
rThis cartridge features a non-corrosive Berdan primer and clean burning propellant, so you won’t have to clean your rifle so frequently in order to preserve its accuracy.
