7.62x39 - 122 Grain Steel Case Nonmagnetic Brass FMJ Projectile - Red Army Standard - 1000 Rounds

“Is this ammo magnetic?” A lot of our customers ask that whenever they see steel cases. They know those typically indicate bimetal jacketed bullets, which many indoor ranges prohibit for safety reasons. But this 7.62x39 ammo by Red Army Standard features a brass jacketed bullet with a lead core. It can’t attract a magnet, so you can finally enjoy budget-friendly Russian ammo at your range of choice. This ammo’s cases certainly are magnetic, though. They’re made of pure steel, which is a whole lot more cost-effective on the production side of things than brass. Red Army Standard goes the extra mile to polymer coat their cases, which enhances their lubricity for smoother feeding as well as protects them somewhat against corrosion. Still, don’t make any plans to reload steel cases – they do not return to their original dimensions once fired. These rounds’ Berdan primers are noncorrosive, and their propellant is clean-burning (do expect steel cased ammo to cause relatively more fouling in spite of that). This ammo is new production, not military surplus, and it’s ready for a good (albeit brief) home inside your AK’s magazine!

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.
