RookieShooter 5 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Where can I find 5.45x39 ammo with brass case & lead core bullet? Does such ammo exist? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

russiangunrunner 10 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 sure it does. u gotta make it yourself. use rem 222 virgin brass trimmed to lenth and swage .224 bullets 55gr and higher down to .221........ but no as far as real 5.45 brass, thats a big no. does not exist anywhere. and even with the virgin 222 you're gonna get some split cases. more so if u use .223 cases Quote Link to post Share on other sites

L5K 162 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Surplus ammo is so cheap that it's just not worth it for companies to produce 5.45 brass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ironhead7544 35 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Hornady is making 5.45x39 ammo with their own bullet and steel cases from overseas. When I called about the ammo, a rep told me they will make brass but dont know when. Ive been pulling bullets to get primed cases for handloading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
