Bought some old x39 HP yesterday
« on: January 20, 2021, 03:44:12 PM »
I latched onto 800 rnds of old Tula Cartridge works 122gr HP ammo yesterday. It's in the white box that says made for hunting on it. For a minute I thought maybe I had latched onto some 8M3, but I think it has to have a 97 or 98 headstamp for that doesn't it?
From what I can find, it is from factory 187, the second Tula factory, and the headstamp is the military designation from that time, TPZ, as opposed to the TCW commercial designation. This is supposed to be the plant where Tulammo is currently being made.

Does anyone else have experience with this ammo to have noticed the headstamp designation variance? Also, whether it may have the same 8m3 projectile in it?




My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

I've used the 123gr HP lead core bullet ammo from there.Works good on big game.

A guy I worked with used his SKS for elk here in Arizona.
As I recall, he bagged two.
He made some AWESOME green chile stew with elk.

No,but there is no closed season and no bag limit on them and they can be taken at night.They are very brazen.This one was a female so it won't be breeding anymore.
