Rifle Ammos Descriptions

308 - 150 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 500 Rounds

Just to be sure, this 308 Win ammo was not made for the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army by the Soviet Union and then stored in a rickety warehouse for several decades. “Red Army Standard” ammo is made in Russia – very recently, and with non-corrosive Berdan primers that won’t blast the inside of your rifle with caustic residues. This 308 ammo is a budget-friendly choice for target shooting because it contains so much steel, which is a much cheaper metal than the copper that is usually used to make bullet jackets and cases. This round’s 150 grain bullet possesses a deformation-resistant bimetal jacket. It’s copper-washed on the exterior and has a lead core, but the steel which comprises the majority of a bimetal jacket does indeed make this bullet magnetic. Steel cases drive this ammo’s price tag even lower. They are designed to cycle efficiently through any kind of rifle, and they are also coated with low-friction and corrosion-resistant polymer. Steel’s main shortcoming? It doesn’t have the ability to contract back to its original dimensions following ignition, which makes reloading a steel case so difficult that it’s usually best not to bother trying!

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
