Hornady Upgrades BLACK™ 7.62x39MM Cartridge with Brass Case

Grand Island, NE – Due to improvements in the manufacturing process, Hornady is offering reloadable brass cases for the 7.62x39MM in their new BLACK™ ammunition line.

Hornady BLACK™ ammunition features versatile loads optimized for excellent performance from America’s favorite guns. Loaded with legendary Hornady bullets, Hornady BLACK™ ammunition is designed to fit, feed and function in a variety of platforms including MSR’s (Modern Sporting Rifles) and tactical bolt action rifles.

“Upgrading from steel cases to brass adds value to the cartridges without adding cost to the consumer,” says Hornady Vice President, Jason Hornady.

Brass is a longtime favorite, especially for reloaders. By manufacturing their own cases, Hornady can efficiently pass along the improvement to consumers without having to raise prices. This change is effective immediately in Item No. 80784 BLACK™ 7.62x39MM 123 gr SST.
