Sterling Steel Case Select ammunition represents a practical middle ground between economy steel-case rounds and premium brass offerings. The 123-grain FMJ projectile is a proven weight class for 7.62x39, offering a balance of velocity, recoil, and trajectory that shooters have relied on for decades. The steel case construction keeps costs down while the quality control standards behind the "Select" designation mean you're getting ammunition that feeds reliably and performs consistently shot after shot.
The 1000-round case format is ideal for shooters who fire regularly—whether that's practice sessions, carbine courses, or just maintaining proficiency with an AK or other 7.62x39 platform. Buying in bulk reduces cost per round and means less frequent ammunition runs. For hunters and precision shooters who need extreme accuracy, this round is better suited to training and general shooting; for tactical and defensive applications, consider purpose-built options designed for those roles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Global Ordnance Sterling Steel Case Select 7.62x39 safe to shoot in my rifle?
Yes. This ammunition is standard 7.62x39mm and will function in any rifle chambered for that cartridge, including AK-pattern rifles, modern sporting rifles, and other platform variants. Steel cases are safe; they will not damage your rifle if it's designed for centerfire rifle ammunition. However, steel cases are generally not reloadable, so this is best suited for shooters who don't reload.
What's the difference between the Sterling Steel Case Select and other 7.62x39 ammunition?
The "Select" designation indicates Global Ordnance's quality control standards—you're getting reliable feeding and consistent performance. The steel case keeps costs lower than brass while the 123-grain FMJ is a proven, balanced projectile weight for the cartridge. The 2362 fps velocity is consistent with other quality 7.62x39 loads in this category.
How many rounds come in this case?
The 1000-round case is packaged in fifty 20-round boxes, making it convenient to store, transport, or share with shooting partners. Each box is compact and easy to handle at the range.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting?
The 123-grain FMJ round is designed for target shooting and general range use. For hunting, consider rifle ammunition specifically engineered for that purpose—typically loaded with expanding bullets and chosen for specific game and distance. Consult your local hunting regulations for legal ammunition types.
