That's a M43 without steel core, isnt it?

"M67"
"In the 1960s Yugoslavia experimented with new bullet designs to produce a round with a superior wounding profile, speed, and accuracy to the M43. The M67 projectile is shorter and flatter-based than the M43. This is mainly due to the deletion of the mild steel insert. This has the side effect of shifting the center of gravity rearward in comparison to the M43. This allows the projectile to destabilize nearly 17 cm (6.7 in)[9] earlier in tissue. This causes a pair of large stretch cavities at a depth likely to cause effective wound trauma. When the temporary stretch cavity intersects with the skin at the exit area, a larger exit wound will result, which takes longer to heal. Additionally, when the stretch cavity intersects a stiff organ like the liver, it will cause damage to that organ."

I believe that most M43 users modifed their projectiles to yaw earlier a long time ago as a result of combat experience in Vietnam, and so most surplus ammo available today, including the readily available Czech ball, should perform similarily to M67.

The Yugo M-76 is likely some of the best 7.62x39 ball out there....
We have sold millions of rounds into the US over the years (lead core) many happy shooters....
We don't think the Canadian market would pay the difference....
You find other M-76 ammo listed in our library on the site
