How much do you think the plastic packaging costs per box? 5c? 10c? Also think about the machine that fills the plastic tray. It could be that machine is much cheaper and more efficient than the alternative that would roll the ammo in paper and staple it.
As of this morning only 17 wholesalers with a cheaper price. Lowest is .42 on multiple deals for Igman and Tela. Two offers at .45 but most are higher. This definitely is a decent price. More so that it's Made in America. Nothing is priced what it once was. Welcome to inflation. Welcome to the real world.
I’m glad that PSA is working on providing the gun community with some great products. I would have like to have seen the same style boxes as the Tula and Wolf. Berdan primers would have been fine maybe those two things could have kept the price point down a couple bucks. I’m just guessing but most people that shoot 7.62x39 aren’t snipers they are looking for something cheap to go to the range with and blow a few mags.
@@albundy7459 But hornady makes bullets for russia, hmmm. Or russia's take on the SST. We wont know how it performs till somebody with some gel gives it a go in a vid.
Been a fan of the 7.62×39 from the time I paid $30 for an s.k.s I bought to replace a Win model 94 30-30 as a "ranch rifle" back then a 20 round box of 30-30 was around $8 i could get 7.62×39 for $2 ish for 30. Looking forward to trying out the black tip out of my little Ruger American.
I see a lot of people with probably no manufacturing experience commenting on the packaging, and how leaving out the plastic tray would result in a cost reduction. Realistically, it adds at most less than $0.01 cent per round to the cost. I have no problem paying that.
@@saltyseatv5904get some plastic wrap or brown paper wrap and line your ammo can and take them out of the boxes and dump them in the can with a few desiccant packs.
@@__Ryan_ I usually always dump my ammo out into 30 cal ammo cans but wanted to leave this stuff in the box so when I go to my local indoor range I dont just come in with a full ammo can or a bunch of already loaded mags and they just trust that they are all the same rounds. That range wont let you shoot normal steel cased because of the bimetal jacket. That is why I wanted to keep them in the box, if that makes any sense.
I've been following this subject on your channel since the 1st video! Awesome to finally see it in your hands! Now to wait for that 5.45 drop from AAC!
I'm very interested in the black tip for hunting, mainly whitetail and hogs. I've been using Privi roundnose, it's fine ammo, but hard to find at times. I'll get some of the black tip for sure. I have a Ruger American Ranch chambered in 7.62x39mm, very accurate rifle. It'd be cool if you can get someone to loan you a Ruger American Ranch to try out. For me, the box is not a big deal, I care less what it looks like. I prefer the smaller boxes, they stack far better in the .30 & .50 cal cans.
@@Cr0wmagnum It sure is!! I wouldn't take for mine. I swapped a mini Mauser (Remington 799/Serbian), straight across for the Ruger. The other rifle was nice and all, very accurate, but parts were hard to get, and I won't own a gun I can't get parts for pretty easy. Glad you like yours too man.
I love what psa is doing for the ak community. Ive bought a ks47 and ak104 from them and loved both and have been waiting on this ammo. I love being able to support local
I want both. Packaging, 6 of one, half dozen of the other. The small boxes will fit ammo cans better, plus more ammo in that can. The larger boxes reduce rounds rolling all over the place.
The Soviet arms 7.62x39 Comes in at 45 cents a round. 9$ for 20rds. Im bettin in time that will drop to 6/7$ a box. Dont know about the sabre ammo though.
I bought 10 boxes of the FMJ. Very exciting! I wish I would've thrown a couple boxes of the black tip in for hunting and possibly home use. But, it will come back in stock eventually....
I'm excited that they're making it but in my opinion they should have skimped on the packaging. And used sealer on the cases. Give the buyer a cheaper price.
Get rid of the plastic tray like their other ammo to make it cheaper? I have read where people complain about the ammo just loose in the boxes but if saves money who cares. I don’t buy aac ammo for precision. I buy it because it’s cheap.
I agree the packaging is way to big compared to everything else we've previously bought. It definitely doesn't store as well as the tula and wolf were use to.
Don't get me wrong I am extremely happy they are making the steel case in the USA now I will just store it loose in a ammo can now so it doesn't take up as much space. But psa is still one of my favorite companies.
I do not own anything chambered in this but this is still really exciting. Any increase in supply of intermediate cartridge ammunition will help push other prices down as well.
More excited about the sabre, that what I ordered.. only because I already ordered like 2k+ rounds of belom brass cased x39 when it was 8.99 a box.. now an expanding round, it was either regular hollowpoint ammo or sst which are very expensive. The steel jacket hollowpoijts seem just to fragment, sst holds weight and mushrooms, hopefully this does too
I'm really excited about the black tip too. I'm going to try to shoot some water jugs tomorrow to see what it does. If it performs like I am hoping.....I will def load up. I will have a range video soon.
@2aEdu ayee, I was going to shoot water jugs as soon as it arrives too from 160 yards and see how it reacts vs thr belom fmj I already recorded at that distance. Excited to see your results
Uploaded a short a hour or so after the black tip came of it vs regular belom 123gr fmj at 160-170 yards. Didn't even take a zeroing shot, just hoped it wouldn't be near same poi, and first shot on the short you can see was pretty much on target. It seemed to expand.
@@rsagmil no idea. But the plastic sleeve on the inside is no doubt an added cost compared to the alternative. When a person is buying 1,000's of rounds, pennies add up...
@2aEdu no doubt, 2A. I am just South of you about 6 hours, and everything down here is $0.48-$.055 a round. Hard pill to swallow when you can get brass case 5.56 for the same price, sometimes less. I still would prefer the smaller footprint boxes. They pack better into cans and such...
The FUDS at the range still won't let you shoot it at the indoor facility, then they'd have to separate steel from brass casings. That would mean actually having to (gasp*) work.
I’m pumped it’s boxer that’s a nice surprise. I’ve been converting Tula to boxer!! I wish it was small primers instead of large. Steel actually reloads good. Feels like brass. Small primers are 20% - 30% cheaper
I will be honest. I did not believe that US ammo made with US components by US workers could come in at 45-50 cpr. I still prefer to pay 60 cpr for reloadable European 7.62x39.
This is a very good price for what it is. I agree. I don't see any defensive rounds like the Sabre available for less than 55 CPR coming in from Europe though. I actually can't think of any current defense import x39 at all.
@@Gary-kc9hx last ppu soft point or Hornady black I got. Was 16 a box for ppu and 20 a box for the black sst. Though I agree 45cpr is high for fmj steel. Hopefully when they get ahead on production it comes down some
Dude anyone that complains about the price,, just know this isn’t insert whatever year you want when you could get stacks of 7.62x39 for next to nothing… PSA is under market price on fmj at .45 cents.. I’ve seen boxes of Wolf if they have it in stock go for .61 cents a round lately … and yes I’m sure if you look around you may be able to find some corrosive crap made in Kyrgyzstan for cheaper… maybe… But, this is the new norm the days of buying even a cheap Sks are over they go for well over 600 now and may even reach 1000 depending on well a variety of things but you get the idea., if you want to be a 2A enthusiast you are pretty much gonna have to pay for it now and deal with all kinds of BS from your government..
Thank you for your comment! I have been spinning my wheels all evening, thinking exactly what you are saying. Read the comments under this video already and you will see what I mean. Wait a few days.....and it will make your head want to explode. LOL
@@2aEdu I did that’s why I posted this,, I saw a few complaints about price and I about came through my phone screen with anger,, you sir must be a saint lol Having to think about our beloved home state being ruined by liberal wack jobs and having to report it to us in a calm clear way without getting mad ….then when you finally have something to be excited about people complain about the price or whatever else they complain about ,, when in reality this is probably as good as their gonna get now a days..
90% of people do not understand basic business principles, supply and demand, etc. They just know 25 years ago they got stacks of spam cans for 40 bucks each and want "the good old days" that will never come back in the current economic climate. They fail to understand that the golden years of combloc stuff was due to the iron curtain falling and everything coming out of armories at fire sale prices, etc.
Personally, I’ll keep getting brass cases because it’s the same price or less. I picked up some recently for $.45 per round. Still excited for the future of it when ammo comes back down.
Will you please let me know where you are getting brass for .45 CPR. I would love to buy a lot at that price, but I haven't seen that price in a while.
I’m guessing the “Black Tip” will be more expensive than the FMJ, because it’s “self defense” ammo. For a better price point, it should be marketed as a polymer tipped hunting round. Marketing it as such will dramatically increase sales margins.
I love this. I've been shooting this caliber since the 80's. I have SKS's, AK's, and AR's chambered in this caliber. I would be curious if this ammo with it's primer an enhanced firing pin is needed when shooting from an AR.
Hey, I know you have an ear over at PSA, could you please ask for a duplicate of the Golden Tiger bullet? The US market needs a reasonable boat-tailed 7.62x39. Thanks!
I would love to see PSA package the ammo like milsurp stuff. Would be super cool and easy to stack deep. Also want to see gel tests on the black tip. Looks kinda like Hornady
I got a blem GF3 2 yrs ago, liked it so much I bought a 2nd one. Still haven't found any blems. You will love it. Quick adjustment of the front sight was all that was needed....
Good day, comrades! This is Yuri from Yoblansk factory in Russia. Do nlt by tdis PSA stuff, not good. I have much beter Russian steel bullet from Yoblansk factory. Little rusty but only shoot once. Powder very good from my cousin Smoloff sheep farm. high methane prime ammo. Very cheap and good for you. Buy a case and get bottle of finest vodka.
While I understand that you are signing the praises of the quality of the manufacturing process that is a mood point. In the end what is the overall performance of the ammo. What is the velocity range and the standard deviation? How does it compare to another American manufacturer like Federal American Eagle which the AK 4774 operators union touted as being a premier ammo. You need to test it using a ballistic chronograph, otherwise it’s all talk.
@@Quality_Guru Shut the F up. Your trite while clearly attempting to be heady reply was rude. Interesting how a snowflake wilts when given some of the heat they so eagerly share with others.
I bet they're going to use military grade primers to avoid slam fires in the SKS. At least I hope they do. Hope they're aware of all the issues Remington had in the 90s using standard rifle primers in their 7.62X39
honestly, I can care less about the packaging / box. I would rather have it come in a bag loose or in small boxes like the russians did. It makes storing in a can much easier and more efficient. It it means it could cut cost by $5 per 1K I would be happy with that. I would seriously like to see PSA offer this in sealed cans and or drums like 55gal sized etc.
Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. Got a few boxes of Tula and Wolf here that are Berdan primed. The two flash holes you can see just looking down into the empty case is a dead give away
"Each round is coated with our proprietary Soviet Slick™ coating. This coating is designed to aid in functioning and prevent corrosion of the steel case." - This stuff will gum up your chamber faster than you can say FTE. Get ready for stuck broken cases.
But... you are wrong. That is not the CPR of the FMJ. I told you in the video where you can go for more info including price. I also told you in the video that I bought 10 boxes of FMJ. No need to apologize to me. I'm very happy with my purchase of this ammo. 👍
PSA website as of 5/6/23, a 20rnd box of fmj is 10.99 per box, as a "daily deal". Plus shipping. I'm glad American companies are making one of my favorite cartridges, but I was hoping for better prices. Hungarian imports and others are 10 to 15 cents per round less.
@@shenanigansagain5273 I hear you man, but I promise that isn't the price. I literally bought 10 boxes of the FMJ. It is currently sold out, but I have the price listed on my Locals community, and a link for when it comes back in stock. You must be talking about the Sabre black tip, which is not FMJ. I have never seen a ballistic tip hollow point defensive HP x39 for less than .55 CPR. I just want to make sure we are comparing apples to apples here. I said in this video why I didnt list prices. I just got my stream taken down while live 2 days ago here. The rules for channels like this a complicated to say the least.
@@rsagmil i mean, we are talking steel case here. If I can get brass case FMJ for 45 cents a round RIGHT NOW it shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to get steel case for 25 cents a round when buying cases of 1000. I'm super glad for what PSA has done for us and I hope they keep it going but 45 cents a round for steel case that doesn't even have free shipping is too much. Most indoor ranges still won't let you shoot steel case even though there is no steel in the bullet itself. Because of this I myself am still sitting on a pile of Wolf steel case from 5 years ago.
@@shawnsanders9450my point was that no one is selling steel case for anything remotely close to 25c. Ammo seek has cheapest at 42c (before shipping, etc). I'm jealous of your stash. I got into this after the "glory days" of dirt cheap ammo and as such have never experienced any of these "i remember when" prices. It gets annoying hearing complaints with price when this ammo is right in line with the current prices. If people are truly gouging then having a new supplier will bring the cost down through competition. At least that's the silver lining (or cope-ium) that i am focusing on.
Hey, I'm in Tennessee for a wk or so was wondering if u could pass along the name of the ammo manufacturer you talked about a few times on your cast. Think it was in rockvale. See if they have a tour. Thanks

I kinda feel like they are wasting time and money on the packaging, just roll it in paper and staple it and slap it in a box like the tulla and wolf.
Yea maybe they could hut 30cpr if not for wasting $ on packaging
How much do you think the plastic packaging costs per box? 5c? 10c?
Also think about the machine that fills the plastic tray. It could be that machine is much cheaper and more efficient than the alternative that would roll the ammo in paper and staple it.
Packaging is half the fun in collecting. Tiger & Brown/Silver/Gold bear packaging peak.
Dude I was just thinking the same thing! Wrap it up and brown wax paper and put a price tag on it. Done!
Sell it in simple cardboard boxes of 30-60-120. Something like a shotgun shell box would be fine and save plastic waste on box inserts.

@@2aEdu I did that’s why I posted this,, I saw a few complaints about price and I about came through my phone screen with anger,, you sir must be a saint lol Having to think about our beloved home state being ruined by liberal wack jobs and having to report it to us in a calm clear way without getting mad ….then when you finally have something to be excited about people complain about the price or whatever else they complain about ,, when in reality this is probably as good as their gonna get now a days..
Exactly, people are delusional if they expect pre-2020 ammo prices
Thank you for this
90% of people do not understand basic business principles, supply and demand, etc. They just know 25 years ago they got stacks of spam cans for 40 bucks each and want "the good old days" that will never come back in the current economic climate. They fail to understand that the golden years of combloc stuff was due to the iron curtain falling and everything coming out of armories at fire sale prices, etc.
Personally, I’ll keep getting brass cases because it’s the same price or less. I picked up some recently for $.45 per round. Still excited for the future of it when ammo comes back down.
Will you please let me know where you are getting brass for .45 CPR. I would love to buy a lot at that price, but I haven't seen that price in a while.
I’m guessing the “Black Tip” will be more expensive than the FMJ, because it’s “self defense” ammo. For a better price point, it should be marketed as a polymer tipped hunting round. Marketing it as such will dramatically increase sales margins.
Been hearing they’ve been suffering quality control problems since with this stuff. Hopefully they get it together before the 5.45 release
I love this. I've been shooting this caliber since the 80's. I have SKS's, AK's, and AR's chambered in this caliber. I would be curious if this ammo with it's primer an enhanced firing pin is needed when shooting from an AR.
I love PSA
Good deal I’m happy love it
Just got some black tip, going this week to try it out before it’s my carry ammo
Cool 👍
Yes!!!!!!
Its boxer primed, i wonder how much more effort it would be to reload it over brass.
Been waiting on this Ammo i was Worried about Not being able to shoot my Choppa lols
And 0 in stock on the website. That's super helpful
But it is actually in stock. That is why I said checkout my Locals posts.
Hey, I know you have an ear over at PSA, could you please ask for a duplicate of the Golden Tiger bullet? The US market needs a reasonable boat-tailed 7.62x39.
Thanks!
Looking forward to the comparison between Tula , and the rest of the US made ammo
I wonder if the cases re reloadable with a carbide sizing die?
They should reduce the packaging and give the reduced cost to the consumer, Stoked for this ammo
I would love to see PSA package the ammo like milsurp stuff. Would be super cool and easy to stack deep. Also want to see gel tests on the black tip. Looks kinda like Hornady
I have a GF3 coming later this month I’ll be buying some PSA ammunition
Nice!
I got a blem GF3 2 yrs ago, liked it so much I bought a 2nd one. Still haven't found any blems. You will love it. Quick adjustment of the front sight was all that was needed....
@@samgamgee42 from all the reviews I’ve seen the GF3, is a really good firearm. You don’t need a $15,000 AK.
Can get brass case for 52 cents a round free shipping which is cheaper than this PSA steel case ammo once they get done gouging you on shipping
Where is this brass cased for that price?
Good day, comrades! This is Yuri from Yoblansk factory in Russia. Do nlt by tdis PSA stuff, not good. I have much beter Russian steel bullet from Yoblansk factory. Little rusty but only shoot once. Powder very good from my cousin Smoloff sheep farm. high methane prime ammo. Very cheap and good for you. Buy a case and get bottle of finest vodka.
its kinda wierd that they would put the steel case ammo in a tray when aac 5.56 brass is loose in the box.
Im diggin the Tella ammo pretty good🎉
While I understand that you are signing the praises of the quality of the manufacturing process that is a mood point. In the end what is the overall performance of the ammo. What is the velocity range and the standard deviation? How does it compare to another American manufacturer like Federal American Eagle which the AK 4774 operators union touted as being a premier ammo. You need to test it using a ballistic chronograph, otherwise it’s all talk.
Whatever. This was a first look review. Go be rude elsewhere.
@@2aEdu Being rude is having a different perspective than you? Interesting to see how you treat others in the 2A community.
@@Quality_Guru Shut the F up. Your trite while clearly attempting to be heady reply was rude. Interesting how a snowflake wilts when given some of the heat they so eagerly share with others.
I hope you do somegel tests on the blacktip plus I would like to see it sold in bulk. Like 1000 rds at a time, cheaper than any brass ammo I can get.
Nice. Boxer primers are softer and will work better in my mini 30.
I bet they're going to use military grade primers to avoid slam fires in the SKS. At least I hope they do. Hope they're aware of all the issues Remington had in the 90s using standard rifle primers in their 7.62X39
honestly, I can care less about the packaging / box. I would rather have it come in a bag loose or in small boxes like the russians did. It makes storing in a can much easier and more efficient. It it means it could cut cost by $5 per 1K I would be happy with that. I would seriously like to see PSA offer this in sealed cans and or drums like 55gal sized etc.
Omg, it popped up and it was gone. Maybe I’ll get some next time !
Black tip is still avail. Check my Locals page.
So when are we going to see the 6.5 grendel roll out??????????????😳
Sabre black tip
Russian 7.62X39 has been Boxer primed since the late 1990s. They haven't used Berdan primers in commercial ammo in 25 years.
That isn't true.
Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. Got a few boxes of Tula and Wolf here that are Berdan primed. The two flash holes you can see just looking down into the empty case is a dead give away
"Each round is coated with our proprietary Soviet Slick™ coating. This coating is designed to aid in functioning and prevent corrosion of the steel case." - This stuff will gum up your chamber faster than you can say FTE. Get ready for stuck broken cases.
So the same coating that has worked for years now won’t work in the AK?
Have you shot any of this ammo? Do you even have any of it?
Most steel case is coated bud
Congratulations kiddo. Way to announce you're a rank noob without actually saying it. 👏👏👏
The regular fmj is $.55 per rnd. Sorry I don't share your enthusiasm.
But... you are wrong. That is not the CPR of the FMJ. I told you in the video where you can go for more info including price. I also told you in the video that I bought 10 boxes of FMJ.
No need to apologize to me. I'm very happy with my purchase of this ammo. 👍
PSA website as of 5/6/23, a 20rnd box of fmj is 10.99 per box, as a "daily deal". Plus shipping. I'm glad American companies are making one of my favorite cartridges, but I was hoping for better prices. Hungarian imports and others are 10 to 15 cents per round less.
@@shenanigansagain5273 I hear you man, but I promise that isn't the price. I literally bought 10 boxes of the FMJ. It is currently sold out, but I have the price listed on my Locals community, and a link for when it comes back in stock. You must be talking about the Sabre black tip, which is not FMJ. I have never seen a ballistic tip hollow point defensive HP x39 for less than .55 CPR. I just want to make sure we are comparing apples to apples here. I said in this video why I didnt list prices. I just got my stream taken down while live 2 days ago here. The rules for channels like this a complicated to say the least.
@@shenanigansagain5273 You're quoting price of SABRE. FMJ is .45 but out of stock.
@@2aEdu my mistake, thats for the black tip. I stand corrected. Okay I'm a bit more excited now, thanks
25 cents a round for fmj right?
I said in this video where I have additional info including price.
Your in La la land
If you own a time machine then yes
@@rsagmil i mean, we are talking steel case here. If I can get brass case FMJ for 45 cents a round RIGHT NOW it shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to get steel case for 25 cents a round when buying cases of 1000. I'm super glad for what PSA has done for us and I hope they keep it going but 45 cents a round for steel case that doesn't even have free shipping is too much. Most indoor ranges still won't let you shoot steel case even though there is no steel in the bullet itself. Because of this I myself am still sitting on a pile of Wolf steel case from 5 years ago.
@@shawnsanders9450my point was that no one is selling steel case for anything remotely close to 25c. Ammo seek has cheapest at 42c (before shipping, etc). I'm jealous of your stash.
I got into this after the "glory days" of dirt cheap ammo and as such have never experienced any of these "i remember when" prices. It gets annoying hearing complaints with price when this ammo is right in line with the current prices.
If people are truly gouging then having a new supplier will bring the cost down through competition. At least that's the silver lining (or cope-ium) that i am focusing on.
What’s the difference really between them
I discussed in this video.
Who’s shot any of this stuff? Thoughts ? I really hope it’s not junk…I want to buy some but my gut says wait?
I picked some up and will shift to thrm from TelaAmmo. I REALLY need them to come though with 5.45x39, any guess on when that will be?
Hey, I'm in Tennessee for a wk or so was wondering if u could pass along the name of the ammo manufacturer you talked about a few times on your cast. Think it was in rockvale. See if they have a tour. Thanks
Checkout this Locals post. I cant share contact info here 2aedu.locals.com/post/5565386/rpm-ammo
@@2aEdu Thanks. Appreciated.
I'm gonna have to get a few boxes and try it through the mini 30! Would also like to see a steel core penatrator too!
Please provide link to that psa aac web site, thanks
I cant post links directly from here, but checkout my Myriad Social page 2aedu.myriad.social It will get you there. I have a deals timeline on Myriad that I frequently update.
Got both rounds will shoot soon
What is the projectile diameter. 308 or .311
I’ll gladly wait until Wolf drops their prices in response to this overpriced steel being peddled.
Russian ammo has been banned from import for a couple years.
I'm glad it cheap for people who like steel I don't want that stuff tearing my bolt up
Tearing up your bolt on what?
Tearing your bolt up?? Just how much of a bottom of the barrel "The Poors" bolt is in your dainty little gun?
@Matteo_ bro I sint never shot steel in anything I own I didn't shoot it with unc sam so mo need to change now
@@Maurice3774 English... Do you speak it? Because that reply sure doesn't read like it.
So besides your "The Poors" grade bolt, your English is just as jacked.
Do you sale that 2A flag that is in your video ?
I do not. That was given to me as a gift from a friend.
I haven't looked at the price yet but something tells me its still +50 cents a round
do you know if they sale them online only ? or have you seen it in store?>
I only go to their facilities in SC once per year, so I'm not sure......
