Hornady Black ammunition is designed for modern firearms, with loads developed to deliver reliable function and accuracy.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 7.62×39 123gr SST Black until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
About the 7.62×39
The 7.62x39mm was developed in the Soviet Union in the 1940s for the SKS and AK-pattern rifles, and it remains one of the most widely used rifle cartridges in the world. With moderate recoil and good energy inside 200 yards, it is a practical choice for deer and hogs, especially from short, handy carbines. Soft point hunting loads turn this popular plinking round into an effective short-range game cartridge.
