Description
PPU 7.62×39 123gr Pointed Soft Point has been a go-to choice for folks running AK-pattern rifles and other 7.62×39 rifles since Prvi Partizan started making it back in 1928. This Serbian ammunition manufacturer knows what they're doing, and it shows in rounds like these.
What Makes PPU's Pointed Soft Point Stand Out
The 123-grain pointed soft point bullet design is specifically built for hunting applications. That pointed tip isn't just for looks either—it improves ballistic efficiency and accuracy compared to round-nose soft points, while the exposed lead nose creates controlled expansion and a uniform mushroom when it contacts soft tissue. You're looking at muzzle velocities around 2350 fps and energy levels of 1508 ft-lbs, making these suitable for whitetail deer and hogs out to practical hunting distances.
Built for Your Range and Reload Bench
Each box contains 20 rounds of new production ammunition loaded in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers. The brass quality is consistently good—reloaders have reported uniform dimensions, consistent primer pockets, and casings that hold up through multiple reloading cycles. Since it's non-corrosive and non-magnetic, these rounds work at indoor ranges that don't allow steel or corrosive ammunition. That's a real advantage for brass case ammo at this price point.
The balance between performance and cost is where PPU excels. You get legitimate hunting-grade ammunition without premium pricing, which is why this round has earned respect from folks who shoot volume hunting schedules or need to practice before heading afield.
