Wolf 7.62x39 124gr HP Gel Test Results
Just finished up testing the Wolf 124gr 7.62x39 HP round from my Krebs AK-103K. The test was shot at 15 ft, 75 degrees, and 300 ft of elevation and the Clear Ballistics FBI spec gel block was used with 4 layers of denim. Results: -2207fps, 1341 ft/lbs energy -The round didn't expand per se; but the jacket did tear open (see video below for the specifics) -Deepest penetration point was 31'' The manufacture of the gel block, Clear Ballistics, claims their gel meets FBI specs for testing. I calibrate my gel per their specs prior to testing and use 4 layers of denim per IWBA protocol. However, by no means am I saying this test is a substitute for the great work industry professionals like Dr. Roberts and others do. I'm just a shooter that likes to learn about the products I use. Here's the video of the test: Wolf 124gr 7.62x39 HP Gel Test HD Video Link

Wow, serious penetration. Now these are the steel jacketed correct...magnet sticks to it?
I'd like to see the same test with the hunting specific Wolf 154sp. |

I love this ammo. I bought 500rds at my LGS before they raised the price to $11 per box.
