FRONTIER 7.62X39 123GR FMJ 50/500

Description

Hornady’s Frontier line was built to give shooters a domestically produced, budget-conscious option that still uses the same projectiles Hornady loads into its premium hunting and match ammunition. For 7.62x39mm shooters running AKs or AR-pattern rifles chambered for the round, that means a 123-grain full metal jacket bullet with consistent geometry and reliable terminal behavior at range distances common to that platform — typically inside 300 yards.

The brass case matters for anyone who reloads. Steel-cased 7.62x39mm is plentiful and cheap, but it goes in the trash after one firing. Boxer-primed brass, by contrast, can be resized and reloaded multiple times, which means the per-round cost drops substantially over the life of the case. The Boxer primer configuration also makes spent case prep straightforward with standard decapping dies, unlike Berdan-primed foreign surplus that requires a separate tool or hydraulic method to deprime.

Non-corrosive primers remove the time pressure around post-range cleaning. Corrosive ammunition leaves potassium chloride salts in the bore that begin attacking the steel within hours; non-corrosive loads give you a normal cleaning window without the risk of pitting. For a range or training round that might be fired in volume, that distinction matters in practice, not just on paper.

Each box contains 50 rounds, and the ammunition ships in cases of ten boxes for those buying in bulk. This is range and training ammunition — its purpose is volume shooting with consistent performance, and the FMJ construction is appropriate for that use.
