Which 7.62x39 round?

[maxbmello]

I recently purchased and AK and I am now looking at buying a case of ammo for it. Best price I have found is about $200. I was just wondering which loading I should buy. 122gr FMJ? 122gr HP? 124gr? 154 gr? The ammo will be used for plinking/SHTF situations.

What brand of AK did you get?

I don't think you need to worry about which load to get. Depending on the quality, the AK is very forgiving about which loading works best. Anything around a 123 gr. loading is what the gun was designed for in the first place.

Wolf military classic 124 JHP's are supposed to be about the best x39 you can get for defense, J&G sales has it for $189.99 per 1,000 + shipping, of course their speed in shipping your order leaves something to be desired though. That's about the best price going, they also have some other wolf stuff too.

How would the 154 softpoint do for a defense role? I've always heard it is the better of the wolf loadings, because they make it in smaller batches compared to the more common 122-124 grain loads.

I've been looking for ballistic tests on the newer SP's that are coming in. Federal, Wolf, Norico, all have random SP rounds but Ive seen 0 reports :(

The winchester & lapua ones are very good:

Just hard to find. Hoping those 154gr are just as good.

Anyone ever seen any tests?

Looks like that 154 Wolf did exceedingly well vs jello-monsta.
