Bought 500 rounds delivered for $215.50. I am impressed by the packaging 9f the cartridges and quality.
It is a great ammo!
Good morning. Where did you find it for that $ ? I thought I was getting a fantastic deal on it
Nice review.
I run both Norma and Belom. Bought 960 Belom and 1k Norma this week.
I got the Belom from Target Sports USA for $10/20 with a discount and free shipping for buying full cases. That's hard to beat.
I run these in a Ruger Ranch rifle, a CZ527, several AKs and a couple of short and 16" ARs. Good stuff.
I think I paid $60 more for the Norma (with 40 more rounds), but don't remember where I ordered it. Rivertown Munitions in Pennsylvania comes to mind. Both great groups to purchase from.
Keep up the good work!
Those are some great prices!
My sign to buy more of this stuff! Great groups and great video.
LOVE Belom ammo... I get this ammo for around $.41/round
You should do a video of comparing available 7.62x39 ammo. People seem to interested in that kind of video. Especially with your Ruger and nice shooting you do!
Check my channel. I may do a summary video of all of the ammo I have tested and how they grouped but I have done several ammo tests on the channel. Perhaps I need to make a playlist.
@@travisp11 at a quick glance I saw few videos. Some steel case ammo test would be nice. Like Vympel, Barnaul, BSVT-NT, Tula, Klimovsk and Ulyanovsk. Thank you for the videos!
I have now shot approximately 4k rds of Belom through various SKSs and AKs. No ftf or other issues. Very good ammo. The boxes are a bit of a pain to open. But they are tightly sealed and are water proof. Not very dirty powder or primers. Sealed primers with a red sealer. Necks are not sealed but are annealed. Many brass 7.62x39 ammo isn't annealed at the neck.
I would say Brass ammo works best in SKS, AR style and bolt action rifles. In my molot Vepr rifle brass cased ammo gets dented when feeding because of the aggressiveness of the action. In Romanian AKs it fed fine but brass cased leaves behind slivers of brass from the aggressive extractor. Makes cleaning a pita.
I agree. The Belom is a bit pricey but a solid performer.
I bought this ammo about three weeks ago, was kind of surprised to find it it a small pawn shop/gun store 20 round box for $14.99. An indoors range near me where I can shoot 7.62 doesn't allow steel case ammo.
This and Norma do give you some good options for lead core ammo.
I think the American Ranch in 7.62x39 is my favorite rifle, and I have had fantastic results with cheap ammo
It is an amazing rifle and the magic comes from that cold hammer forged barrel.
Belom!
Great video! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Nice shooting 👍
Thanks!
By the way, my wife thanks you…….I have to get a Ruger American chambered in the Awesome 39 round!!😁😁😁
Absolutely! I host the finest quality of life improvement channel on all of RUclips!
@@travisp11 😂🤣😂
That is some decent Al ammunition. Good find. Echo
Thanks for watching!
This is promising to see. Have not had very good luck with tula or norma as a practice round shooting consistently in my new ranch model. Did you happen to expirience any kind of break in period with yours where it eventually "settled in"?
Mine was pretty accurate right out of the box. I didn’t do any special break in. Just a good cleaning after the first range trip and a barrel clean every 100 rounds of so. I have shot the heck out of it.
PWS 11" pistol/rifle/sbr (FTATF)
Same groups. All the Barnaul (fmj,sp,hp)
gives similar performance.
I am using a relatively inexpensive Leupold green fire dot 1.5-4 patrol.
It is a 1" tube and only weighs 9oz.
PWS makes the best 762×39 platform
to date. .125 port adjustable long stroke gas piston. .136 depth bolt face and extractor( Alexander Arms Grendel bolt;
which was actually copied from 90s Colt 762×39 bolt) Duramags ( I heard ASC is " just as good", but why chance it?)
Seems like some of the newer production ×39 is really good.
It is harder to get this kind of accuracy out of my 16" .556 AR15. Not to mention the price of "match" .556
Right on!
I love that ammo it groups really well out of my AK
Amazing stuff and doing all of these ammo tests have been great!
Do you know if it is boxer primed?
@@mgabriel2636 it can be reloaded. It’s boxer primed.
I bought some Belom 7.62 at Rural King but havent shot any of it. The price was right though.
It’s good stuff!
Barnaul and Vympel steel case is probably the best 7.62x39 ammo. Wolf and all the Bear branded stuff are rebrands of those ammo. Klimovsk and Tula are generally ok. Not sure about the Belorussian BSVT-NT ammo sold under Republic brand.
I have some of the Wolf re-branded Vympel steel case lead core. It’s great ammo!
@@travisp11 and I have some wolf that is stamped as Tula. You really never know what you'll get with them from year to year. I also have Wolf in 5.45 and a little of it is Barnaul and a whole lot of it is Tula.
I can't remember of I got a box if that at Scheels or not.
It may have been the Igman but I’m pretty sure you did
Thanks for the “unbiased” reviews.
Much Appreciated! (subscribed)
Good video’s.
Thanks again. (7.62-39 IS the ammo!!)….556..👎….sorry AR fans, ak is it. (You Won’t shoot from a bench “When It Matters”…..and weight+energy is where it is At!
Thanks for watching! Oh, and welcome to the channel!
Good ammo, but you can't beat the accuracy of that Ruger Ranch.
I agree. It’s definitely my favorite bolt action rifle.
Great video 👍
I bought 500 Rds of this stuff about a year ago and it shoots really bad groups out of my AR in 7.62x39 and not so great groups out of my C39v2 AK. I know it's not the guns as they both shoot MOA groups using steel case Wolf polyformance at 50yds.
I just got the Ruger ranch and based on your results I'm very anxious to get to the range and try it out.
Other videos I've watched using belom tactical claim the belom tactical bullet is slightly smaller in diameter. Looks like the Ruger barrel might be the perfect match for it .
My Ruger Ranch does show the ammo is likes and does not like. I've used the same optic for a few years now so it is pretty easy to see from my range tests what runs well through it. The Norma 7.62 ammo that I tested runs good but it is really hard to be the Tula for range time. Generally sub MOA or 1" MOA at 100 yards in all weather.
I have a few 7.62 ARs. My Sanders and KAK barrels both can achieve just a touch over 1MOA with this ammo. Also have a Radical barrel I've yet to try (possibly tomorrow?). The ammo I have the hardest time holding a decent group with is Norma. Ruger American Ranch holds best but still mediocre in anything else I run it in.
@@411DL Right on!
@@travisp11 And so I did make it up into the hills and my trusted Belom would not chamber in that Radical barrel. Neither would Sellier and Bellot. First it had feed issues but once I got it to partially chamber I had to mortar it out. Didn't bring any other brass as I wasn't anticipating anything like this happening. Put about 8 rounds of Barnaul through just fine. Only reason I had Barnaul was to cycle test my PTR32. So, no. I do not think these bullets are skinny. Even with a dial caliper I can't tell the difference between Belom and Barnaul. Definitely have to talk to my gunsmith now.
The Belom bullet jacket is copper as opposed to bi metal( soft steel) with a copper wash( electro coated).
I believe the copper jackets engage rifling to aggressively and end up over stabilizing the bullet.
Any concentric inconsistencies become exaggerated with a 1in10 twist 16"barrel.
I have noticed over the years: 11" VZ58s and my go to, the 11" PWS piston upper,
are usually more accurate than their 16"
barreled equivalent.
The 154grn soft point are often more accurate in the 16" barrels.
The Colt 762×39 uppers ( early 90s)
have a 1in12 twist and stabilize most bullet weight nicely.

Sorry for “Clogging up” your video with Endless comments, But the Garbage Accessory’s these guys put on their weapons are a Joke. Guy’s will turn a 8 lbs weapon into a 14 lbs Anchor! Good luck carrying that for Any period of time! Ya, it looks fancy and you can talk about the laser,acog, flashlight and said wiz-bangs to fellow “Gawker’s”……(I’ll go to car show’s for that)…all commercialized garbage vs basic fundamentals.
….again just
….two cents
I generally add a vertical grip and maybe a flashlight but that’s it.
@@travisp11 I agree, only in that, it’s within 20’ +/-…..ie: in your House…..Good Deal!
That is Not what “these” guys do. They outfit their tools to do “point-blank” to 10,000 yards!….it’s ridiculous. I think it’s a lot of “bragging” bs. I told my brothers, most of which are military of background (inwhich these day’s don’t mean sh&t……a lot of donut’s in there too), tools are meant to do a certain job…..why over complicate it? These “gun and accessory manufacturers” Know their audience and they Capitalize on it! I would add, 99.9% of their customers have Never been in a “OH F@ck!” moment. Glamor and Looks don’t impress me…..never had. I asked a dude, of whom had a Hi-Point pistol, “Any malfunctions?”…..”Only with hollow, …..good with ball, no failures.”…..of which I said, “You got a good one.”
No matter the “Look” and or the reputation, if it fires Reliably with the Same Ammo it can ingest…!…..all good! That’s what makes a reliable tool when it Matters.
It is Not the Flash! I have yet to find a gun show of which I can display my menu to be judged hoping I walk away with a first prize trophy. All, for the most part, “this” are manufacturers taking advantage of other’s looking for the “flash” and Not in Real World Circumstances.

@@FreeWill-is-Love speaking of Hi Point I will be showing of a JCP10, 10mm soon on the channel!
@@FreeWill-is-LoveI have a mental image of the Tacticool Add-ons Addicts trying to maneuver through heavy brush or jungle foliage with their "I made mine bigger than yours" rifles.
Where are they going to plug in the toaster oven?
@@Salieri47 🤣😂🤣
🇦🇺😎👍It’s a tack driver
Right on!
Great ammo!
I agree!
Hey Travis did u get a deer with your American yet I’ve been stocking up on belom brass case reloadable.
I actually took my Ruger American .308 on my last deer hunt because I was anticipating shots past 250 yards. I may use the ranch for whitetail in the woods along the platte river.
I have taken 2 whitetail with my ruger American 7.62x39
It performed very well, super happy with it
@@citiesofthestates7694 Awesome!
What do you think about Tula 122 grain HP as a hunting round? In terms of accuracy, does it behave differently than Tula FMJ?
I only hunt with soft point ammo. Either lead or polymer (it’s actually required here in Nebraska). From what I have seen from that particular round, the hollow point doesn’t open and expand like traditional hollow point handgun ammo.
How is the POI on this ammo when zero'ed with the Russian Barnaul stuff?
I haven't tired Barnaul yet. Only Wolf and Tula in terms of ammo from Russia.
@@travisp11 How about the Tula then?
If you check my channel I have tested Tula several times on my 7.62x39 Ruger Ranch rifle. I use it as a benchmark ammo to compare against other ammo. Watch this video that I did...ruclips.net/video/tlDz4G_Lc-Y/видео.html@@rob21
What’s the idea of twisting the knobs on the stand thingy vs adjusting the scope knobs?
The gun stand gets knocked out of place every time you pull the trigger. I am re adjusting the elevation of the stand to bring it back to where the gun was previously pointed without messing with the zero on the optics.
@@travisp11 and that doesn’t affect the scope?
Cool video. Would this be considered "ammo"?
Absolutely
You don't own a Mini 30, so I wonder if you take some tension out of the magazine's spring if it will help you run the bolt smoother.
That’s not a bad idea. The 5 rounder runs fine.
@@travisp11 Give it a try. I'll bet it'll be fixed with just two coils at most taken off the spring.
@@KossoffFan I have 2 of the 20 round magazines so I think I will try that.
@@travisp11 Awesome. Good luck. I look forward to seeing how it works.
My fave ammo for my mutant
It’s pretty impressive!
Love my bolt AK 🥰🇺🇸
Right on!
nice
Unfortunately, I have to add…..300 black out is a joke. I know I’ll p&$$ people off, but that round was a gimmick! You Could make the argument for close quarters, I get that, but that round snookered A Lot of people! Stay away from those “Wiley Cat” rounds. Do some research before spending money’s on a Fad. Basics are Basics. Don’t get drawn into “reinventing the wheel”…….although, their is exception’s…..300 blk out?, Not One.
Not to mention that 300BLK is a pricey little round.
@@travisp11 Good point. It is unfortunate, I myself have fallen for it, that the “New Round” gets your eye with glitz and glamor all to be a farce. There are exceptions. I used to be of one of “Capacity”…..and I do think that holds some relevance. Although, with my aging eyes, “bigger is better”. To be in a “Oh $h!t !” Moment and to figure you will be “On Target” for repeated follow-ups is a fools game, in my opinion. You have Fractions of a second. You Better be On Target from First Shot! Again, I haven’t an opinion for 3,000 rnd mags…..good for them….all good. I, on the other hand, think that “First” better Pack a Punch.
I’m up in the air on it as I get older and weaker. But, as far as these goofy rifle rounds…….forget about it and save your money’s. The 300…..225…..7mil…..I say, stick to basic’s……and Yes, the Russians (39) have that figured out and it Works!….not to mention, there has been HUGE gains in ammo engineering in the last 30 years.
-two cents
that rifle will shoot those groups or better with cheap steel ammo
Yup and I have proved it but the problem is that at some point the cheap Russian imported supplies are gonna dry up and until PSA releases their ammo we may need to find alternatives. But let’s be honest, the 7.62x39 ranch is a solid performer right out of the box.
Ruger’s quality control is an RMA form.
I’ve never had an issue with a Ruger firearm.
I would buy handguns online only once.
Nice! I wish we had Sheels down here.
It is my favorite place to go!
We have one opening in two weeks here. Looking forward to it.
