About the 7.62x39 Kalashnikov Cartridge:

Development of the Cartridge:
Developed in 1943 by Nikolai M. Elizarov and Boris V. Semin, the 7.62x39 cartridge became globally renowned during and after World War II. Known for its medium power and low production costs, it was the primary Soviet round until the introduction of the 5.45x39mm. Despite newer rounds, the 7.62x39 remains the most widespread.

Versatility:
This cartridge powered the iconic AK-47 and various other weapons. The lacquered steel casing used in the Soviet Union reduced production costs, contributing to its popularity. Today, it's highly sought after for hunting and sports shooting.

Loading and Construction:
Military versions of this cartridge feature slower-burning powder, often more potent than modern rounds. FMJ bullets with steel cores of varying lengths are common, and there are also tracer, incendiary, armor-piercing, and hunting versions available.
