5.45x39 - 60 Grain V-MAX - Hornady BLACK - 20 Rounds

This is not AR-15 ammunition. 5.45x39 is designed for the Russian AR-74. Most of us would agree that Russia’s steel-cased ammo can get the job done at the rifle range. But when you’re doing something extremely important – such as defending the lives of your family members, or hunting varmints – it can’t do any harm to bank on ammo made by one of our country’s greatest manufacturers. This 5.45x39 cartridge from Hornady’s BLACK label features their 60 grain V-MAX. It’s arguably the most popular varmint hunting bullet in America, with a sharp polymer tip and match grade AMP jacket that give this particular bullet a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.285. Once fired from a 16” barrel it retains enough velocity to strike a 300 yard target with nearly 500 ft lbs of energy. The V-MAX’s tip is actually situated over a deep nose cavity. On impact its tail briefly rams inward until connecting with the bullet’s swaged lead core, thus initiating rapid fragmentation. The V-MAX’s terminal effect is explosive even following lower velocity impact, making it effective for a variety of hunting and tactical applications alike. Hornady’s BLACK line of ammunition is also versatile, as it’s designed to run smoothly through pretty much any rifle capable of chambering it. Hornady’s brass is always worth holding onto for handloading, and their primers are well-made to prevent “clicks” when there should have been “bangs.”

45 ACP - 230 Grain TMJ - Speer LAWMAN - 50 Rounds

Speer® brought sport shooters and law enforcement the excellence of Lawman over 35 years ago. Back in 1968, the line included various calibers of centerfire handgun ammunition, and quickly earned a reputation as a high-performance and reliable product. Lawman is attractively priced, and the cases are reloadable with clean-burning propellants and reliable CCI primers to complete the package. Total metal jacket (TMJ) is different from full metal jacket (FMJ) due to TMJ bullets having no exposed lead bases, this makes TMJ bullets better suited for firing in indoor ranges since there will be fewer lead particulates floating in the air after firing .
