This is terrific news. The 7.62x39 is a very efficient cartridge and it deserves some upgraded ballistic capability.

  @Cymond That's not a problem, that's capitalism.

  @John Daniels Yes, I get that, derfelcadarn's position is that you can't buy ammo but I'm arguing that you can't buy ammo because everyone else is buying it first. Hence, I'm glad Winchester will be selling this new load. Someone will buy it, even if I never find a box.
