AK ammo

Just the same, I will pass

AKs were meant to shoot steel case ammo and that's all I shoot thru mine. And a lot of it.

I believe it is all berdan primed tho, so not much use to the normal reloader.

Sure, for the brass over steel thing, yah. There's that.

No problem in regards to it being corrosive, just be mindful of washing down is all when your done. For folks who've never run corrosive.

Which is why it is better for long storage, especially under less than ideal conditions.

I have run thousands of rounds of Wolf military classic hp through 3 AR builds in 7.62x39 and had good results. If I have to replace a barrel at 10,000 rds vs 15 or 20k so be it . They are only $80 a piece and I have a few for spares.

Russkies still use corrosive primers, they last longer in storage and work better in the cold.

I have come across some brass-looking Soviet 7.62x39 ammo from the early '50s, but found that it was always just brass-plated steel.

So I dug it out and checked....I stand corrected. It is brass washed steel
