Description
This 5.45×39 cartridge by Silver Bear is manufactured in Russia’s Barnaul Cartridge Plant, and accordingly features the type of steel casing that the country is so well-known for. You’ll note that this round’s price tag nicely reflects the disparity between the cost of steel and brass, although it’s going to be of about as much use at your reloading bench as your dog would. Not to disparage your dog, of course, we just assume that they’re not very helpful when it comes to reloading ammo.
rThis round’s casing is plated with zinc, which gives it increased resistance to corrosion as well as enhanced ability to cycle smoothly through a semi-automatic weapon. It features a non-corrosive Berdan primer as well, so it can sit content on your shelf for ages. This round’s 60 grain full metal jacket will protect your rifle’s bore from rapidly accumulating lead residue, and further helps it to penetrate a variety of targets.
