Where is this ammo made?
Hi Robert and welcome. Sterling ammo is made in Turkey. They export their ammo to over 85 countries, including the US.
The Turac company was established in Ankara, but its ammunition factory is now in Çankırı.

DETAILS
True AK-47 enthusiasts are no strangers to Russian-made 7.62x39 ammunition. But Russia hasn’t monopolized the 7.62x39 market – not by a long shot. Sterling of Turkey has also gotten in on the gas-operated, closed rotating bolt action!
This ammunition does have all the same features as its Russian equivalent, though. That starts with its 123 grain full metal jacket projectiles, which have lead cores and bimetal jackets. A bimetal jacket is mainly comprised of steel, so make no mistake: this ammo’s bullet’s will attract a magnet, so you may be disallowed from firing them at certain commercial ranges.
Ammo like this is relatively inexpensive thanks to its steel cases. You’re paying for next to zero copper when you buy steel-cased ammo, which makes high-volume shooting less impactful on your net worth. Take care that steel cases aren’t reloadable.
Sterling’s ammo is just as noncorrosive as any premium brass-cased ammo you could get from America. This is newly manufactured ammo – not military surplus that was stored in questionable conditions.
