7.62x54r - 148 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 500 Rounds

Remember back in the days when you could pick up a decent Mosin-Nagant for $70? Not anymore, my friends. Too many people started liking them. But hey – at least its popularity makes it easier to find ammo for the Moist Nugget. This is Red Army Standard ammunition, manufactured in Mother Russia and imported here by Century Arms International. If you see the words “Russia” and “ammunition” in the same sentence, you might already know what to expect: steel shell cases. They’re coated with polymer for protection and friction reduction, and which is more heat resistant than the lacquer traditionally used. But they’re also no good for reloading, and may let more fouling into a Mosin’s action. Russian ammo connoisseurs would also be correct to assume this round has a magnetic bullet. The 148 grain FMJ indeed has a bimetal jacket, which contains steel. But if you ever drop this ammo at the beach, at least you’ll have an easy time finding it with a magnet. Steel cased ammo like this is commonly Berdan primed, and Red Army Standard’s new production primers are non-corrosive to prevent rusting. We have not yet confirmed this round’s muzzle velocity, but we would guess it is in the neighborhood of 2,700 fps.

45 ACP - 230 Grain FNEB - Remington Subsonic - 50 Rounds

Do you have a 45 ACP handgun? Do you also have a suppressor? Then all you need now is the ammo. Remington and Advanced Armament Corporation codeveloped this ammo so you can maximize your suppressed handgun’s performance. The 45 ACP is already a subsonic cartridge, and Remington’s Subsonic label ammo certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel in that department. What this cartridge offers that’s special is its bullet: a flat nose enclosed base. No part of the bullet’s core is exposed to hot propellant gasses during ignition, so you can look forward to not having to scrub any lead residue off of your suppressor’s ports or baffles. This bullet’s flat nose profile won’t deliver terminal expansion. But if your objective is to avoid deafening yourself while you use your handgun during home defense, you’ll still find 230 grains of lead and copper suitable for the job. This bullet transfers more than 320 ft lbs of energy over any distance your home could possibly contain. Even if it hasn’t got a suppressor, your handgun should have zero difficulty cycling this brass-cased, non-corrosive and clean-burning American-made ammunition.
