5.45x39mm – 65 gr FMJ – TelaAmmo – 300 Rounds

Looking for affordable, non-corrosive 5.45×39 ammo for your AK-74? Pick up this 300 round case of TelaAmmo 5.45x39mm 65 grain FMJ steel case ammo.

For years, most 5.45×39 on the market was old Soviet surplus loaded with corrosive primers and sealed in spam cans. That ammo is cheap, but it forces you to clean your rifle thoroughly the same day you shoot. TelaAmmo is new production with non-corrosive primers, so cleanup is easier and you can wait until you get home to clean your rifle. The 65 grain full metal jacket bullet feeds smoothly in AK-74 pattern rifles and 5.45 AR-15 uppers, and it keeps costs low for high-volume training. The lacquer-coated steel case resists moisture and extracts reliably. This load is made for target practice, drills, and plinking, not for hunting or self-defense. Always use ammo that matches the caliber stamped on your rifle, since 5.45×39 and 5.56×45 are not interchangeable.

The 5.45x39mm was adopted by the Soviet Union in 1974 for the AK-74. It is known for low recoil and a flat trajectory, which makes it easy to shoot fast and accurately. It is chambered in AK-74 pattern rifles and pistols, Saiga rifles chambered in 5.45, the Arsenal SLR-104, AK-74 builds from makers such as Riley Defense, and AR-15 uppers built for 5.45. A 300 round case is enough for a full training day or several shorter range trips. Steel-cased ammo also saves money compared with brass, which leaves more budget for practice. Steel-cased 5.45 is the standard choice for AK-74 owners, since these rifles were designed around steel cases and have extractors built to handle them.

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 300 rounds, packed as 10 boxes of 30. Store it in a cool, dry place to keep the steel cases in top shape. Keep it sealed until you are ready to shoot.
