Dixie DrifterYou mean the chinese stuff? There is no AP in 7.62 x 39. Only in 7.62 x 54.

CollinsNot true, I just got off the phone with HP White Labs in MD and there are several variants of 7.62 x 39, one of which is a 120 gn hardened steel penetrator that moves out at 2350-2400 fps. This is not the same as steel cored, but is a true AP round.

EdmondIt must be the new Namco (Lapua) round.

CollinsI think there is one that's older... Big Sky Surplus in Oregon claims to have the actual AP rounds but at $40 each, it's 3x what I paid for 50 BMG Slap rounds (from Winchester) My thoughts are that ANYthing made in 7.62 x 39 should be very available and very cheap
So, now that I've got the FFL with import accreditation, you want to ship some of those AP rounds over?
