Hornady Black 7.62×39mm 123-grain SST (Super Shock Tip) brings Hornady’s high-performance hunting technology to the popular 7.62×39mm caliber. Each round features a polymer-tipped SST bullet engineered to initiate rapid, controlled expansion while preserving sufficient sectional density for deep penetration and reliable terminal performance. The polymer tip improves ballistic coefficient and ensures consistent expansion from light to moderate velocities typical of carbine and rifle platforms chambered in 7.62×39mm.
Manufactured to Hornady’s demanding tolerances, this ammunition feeds reliably in AK-style rifles and many bolt actions, making it a versatile choice for hunters and shooters who demand reproducible performance. Packaged in a compact box of 20 rounds, it’s convenient for scouting, hunting trips, or precision range sessions.
