7.62x39 - 122 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 20 Rounds
The AK-47 is an alarmingly fun weapon to fire. “THRAKKETY THRAKKETY THRAK THRAK THRAK” it goes as you pump a torrent of lead and copper out of its barrel. Such amusement can quickly rack up a high ammo bill -- unless you’re firing Red Army Standard, that is. As it is manufactured by Tula in Russia, 7.62x39 round features a steel shell casing, an economical alternative to brass which is tethered to unpredictable copper prices. It may not seal the chamber as well as brass, and it may also be a poor choice for handloading, but steel’s accessible price tag totally makes those shortcomings worthwhile. This round’s casing is coated with corrosion resistant polymer which helps a semi-auto feed and extract efficiently. This round’s 122 grain bullet weighs only one grain less than the original M43 bullet. You’ll notice little difference in its ballistic performance, and you’ll appreciate how its jacket is hard enough to promote optimal feeding yet soft enough to prevent lead fouling without damaging the bore’s riflings.
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.
