After some previous teases at the SHOT Show, their Soviet Arms steel case 7.62\u00d739 ammo is finally shipping. Let\u2019s see what it offers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>PSA @ TFB:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steel cased ammo was the option of choice for budget-conscious shooters for many decades. But like too many imported goods in the firearm sector, it eventually fell prey to import restrictions and dried up. There is still some Tula and Wolf steel case kicking around on shelves at local gun stores, but it is quite a bit more expensive and harder to find than it used to be.<\/p>\n<p>This left a hole in the market, and PSA is finally starting to fill it. The new Soviet Arms load is a 122-grain FMJ bullet pushed to 2,375 FPS. Unlike much of the Combloc ammo it is replacing,\u00a0AAC\u2019s steel case ammo is fully non-corrosive. The 123-grain black tip is loaded to the same velocity but has improved terminal ballistics. It runs for $10.99 for 20 rounds. While it lasted, the FMJ ammo was $8.99 for a box of 20 rounds. PSA also has a<a href=\"https:\/\/palmettostatearmory.com\/aac-soviet-arms-7-62x39mm-122-grain-fmj-ammo-250rd-with-aac-blue-30-cal-ammo-can.html\"> 250-round box for 129.99<\/a>. PSA has also shown off samples of 7.62x54R and 5.45\u00d739 ammo in the past. Perhaps we will even see some steel 223 ammo someday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1347651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_20240503_182707_DuckDuckGo.jpg\" alt=\"AAC Soviet Ammo 7.62x39 Steel Case Ammo Now Shipping\" width=\"1080\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_20240503_182707_DuckDuckGo.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_20240503_182707_DuckDuckGo-390x219.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_20240503_182707_DuckDuckGo-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_20240503_182707_DuckDuckGo-660x370.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_20240503_182707_DuckDuckGo-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_20240503_182707_DuckDuckGo-920x516.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the manufacturer:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 7.62x39mm 122gr FMJ Non-Corrosive Steel Case Ammunition from AAC delivers superior performance when you need it most.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Designed for use in a variety of applications and manufactured through AAC\u2019s advanced research, design, and engineering process with state-of-the-art, quality machines, and materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each round is coated with our proprietary Soviet Slick\u2122 coating.
