7.62x39 - 122 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 1000 Rounds
Century Arms International is an authority on the AK-47, so it is only fitting that the importer and manufacturer should offer ammunition for the famous rifle as well. This 7.62x39 cartridge hails from Tula's cartridge plant Russia, and features a steel shell casing that serves to keep its price tag nice and low. Many shooters’ chief beef with steel casings is that they tend to jam in a semi-automatic. This Red Army Standard round’s casing is coated with polymer to reduce the friction it generates, thus facilitating smooth rapid fire. This cartridge has a 122 grain bullet, which falls squarely within the normal weight range for its caliber. The bullet’s hard, concentric jacket at once promotes reliable feeding from a magazine, a cleaner bore after shooting, and a level flight trajectory. Red Army Standard uses Berdan primers, which are slightly less expensive to produce than Boxers. The primer which requires two flash holes is less desirable to handloaders, but with its steel casing you wouldn’t have reloaded this range round anyway!
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.
