SAVANNAH, Ga. –– Inceptor Ammunition has added a 7.62x39mm and 223 Rem offering to its Short-Range Rifle (SRR) Sport Utility Ammo™ lineup. The SRR combines a patented injection-molding process and bullet design with copper-polymer materials. These new loads expand this one-of-a kind ammunition to the proven 223 platform and the non-standard 7.62x39mm caliber. Shipments will begin in Q1.

Inceptor SRR projectiles are lead-free and loaded to tight specifications in high-quality brass cases. They perform very well in the semi-automatic platform and open up options not available with traditional ammunition. For duty purposes, they offer non-sparking, low-ricochet and limited penetration rounds with unparalleled stopping power.

For training and the range, these new offerings give AK and MSR enthusiasts a lead-free, range-compliant load. The unmatched frangibility of the SRR bullets allows users to shoot hardened steel at distances much closer than with standard ball and/or hollow point rounds.

“We’re excited to now offer three cartridges—300 AAC Blackout, 223 Remington and 7.62x39mm—in the SRR Sport Utility Ammo line,” said Inceptor Ammunition President Paul Lemke. “We’re continuing to listen to customers, deliver high-performance ammunition and revolutionize the projectile manufacturing process. Real-world feedback allowed us to confirm SRR is being used on duty—and not just to train. The unique features of our projectile give users something on the battlefield or in security and tactical situations that no other manufacturer can replicate.

“The training and range applications also make us very popular. Indoor facilities are now able to allow multiple calibers of semi-auto rifles to be fired in their lanes. Also, competitions, drills and shooting exercises can be set-up in ways that allow for true CQB training or other short-range situations. And adding the 7.62x39 gives us a viable non-standard solution.”
