Hornady makes two 7.62×39 loads both are .311 diameter poly tip rounds. One is called Zombie Max, thee other is Steel Match, both are steel case. PS steel case is perfectly fine in any modern rifle, brinale tests show steel case ammo both Russian and US made are extreemly soft steel, and brass cases are only a few Brinel points lower than the steel cases. Cheers.

Interesting test. Thanks for posting the results. Something else to consider is that the double tap self defense ammo may actually be specifically designed for lower penetration, so you’re not as likely to shoot through the neighbor’s house.

Seems like a lot of domestic x39 is under-loaded compared to foreign stuff.
