This is not 5.56x45mm ammunition. This is not 7.62x39mm ammunition, either. This is 5.45x39mm ammunition – a must-have for any AK-74 rifle or its derivatives.
It’s called “5.45x39mm Russian,” but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s *made* in Russia. Tela Impex is a Floridian importer that brought these range and target loads all the way over from the nation of Azerbaijan!
If you’re familiar with Russian-made ammo, then you’ll recognize this Azerbaijani ammo’s steel cases as a cost-saving feature. Steel cases aren’t reloadable for a couple of different reasons – one of them being their (noncorrosive) Berdan primers, which operate around two flash holes instead of one. Long story short: This ammo’s cases aren’t worth picking up.
This ammo’s 65 grain FMJ projectiles have bimetal jackets, with the thinnest possible copper-washed exterior and soft steel underneath. Bimetal jacketed bullets are more cost effective, although they *will attract a magnet.* Make sure your rifle range is OK with magnetic ammo before investing in a whole case of it!
