Want to stock up on non-corrosive 5.45×39 ammo for your AK-74 at a bulk price? Pick up this 1500 round case of TelaAmmo 5.45x39mm 65 grain FMJ steel case ammo.
For decades, most affordable 5.45×39 ammo was Soviet-era surplus loaded with corrosive primers and packed in spam cans. That ammo forces you to scrub your rifle with water-based cleaner the same day you shoot. TelaAmmo is new production with non-corrosive primers, so cleanup is simpler and you can clean your rifle on your own schedule. The 65 grain full metal jacket bullet feeds smoothly in AK-74 pattern rifles and 5.45 AR-15 uppers. The lacquer-coated steel case resists moisture and extracts reliably. Steel-cased ammo keeps costs low, which leaves more room in the budget for practice. This load is built for target practice, carbine classes, and plinking, not hunting or self-defense.
The 5.45x39mm was adopted by the Soviet Union in 1974 for the AK-74. It is known for mild recoil and a flat trajectory, which makes fast, accurate follow-up shots easy. It is chambered in AK-74 pattern rifles and pistols, the Saiga, Zastava M85, Arsenal SAM5, and AR-15 uppers built for 5.45. Always confirm the caliber stamped on your rifle, since 5.45×39 and 5.56×45 are not interchangeable. If your range restricts steel-core or magnetic ammunition, check their rules before you shoot, since steel cases will attract a magnet. A 1500 round case is enough for a full season of training days and carbine courses. It is also a good way to keep a supply on hand, since 5.45×39 imports can be interrupted without warning.
This imported ammo is new production, lacquered steel-cased, Berdan-primed, and non-corrosive. Because it is steel-cased and Berdan-primed, it is not reloadable. The case holds 1500 rounds. Store it in a cool, dry place to keep the steel cases in top condition. Keep the case sealed until you need it.
