The 55-grain full metal jacket design keeps things straightforward and practical, delivering the kind of consistent results you want when you're working on accuracy or just putting rounds downrange.
Brass cases and reloadable potential
Unlike the surplus steel-cased stuff floating around, you're getting fresh brass that's reloadable. Boxer-primed cases mean you can reload without the hassle of dealing with Berdan primers, which opens up cost savings for anybody who reloads or plans to down the line. The brass construction also means less wear and tear on your firearm compared to steel, something worth considering if you're running the same rifle frequently.
Built for consistent velocity and function
Manufactured to C.I.P. standards in the Czech Republic, these rounds come loaded to specifications you can count on. The muzzle velocity runs right around 2854 fps with energy in the 995 ft-lbs range, giving you a ballistic profile that's manageable and reliable. The full metal jacket profile ensures smooth feeding through your rifle's magazine and chamber, which is exactly what you need for a no-nonsense training round.
The 5.45x39mm advantage for target and range work
The 5.45x39mm caliber offers mild recoil and a lightweight round design that makes follow-up shots easier to control. Whether you're running an AK platform or one of the modern AR-15 variants chambered in 5.45, this ammunition feeds reliably and performs like you'd expect. The FMJ bullet construction means minimal bullet deformation on impact, keeping your shots predictable downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reload the brass from Global Ordnance 5.45x39mm ammunition?
Yes. These rounds come with Boxer-primed brass cases that are fully reloadable, which gives you a cost advantage over time if you handload. The consistent factory specifications also help you work from a reliable baseline for your reloads.
What firearms will this 5.45x39mm ammunition work in?
The 5.45x39mm cartridge is used in rifles like the AK-74, AK-12, and various AR-15 variants chambered in 5.45. If you own any rifle marketed as 5.45x39mm or 5.45 Russian, this ammunition is designed to function reliably in that platform.
Is the Global Ordnance 5.45x39mm round good for recoil-sensitive shooters?
Yes. The 5.45x39mm cartridge is known for mild, manageable recoil compared to larger rifle calibers. Combined with the 55-grain FMJ load, you'll find this round produces noticeably softer recoil impulse, making it easier to control during rapid fire or extended training sessions.
Why would I choose brass-cased ammunition over steel-case options?
Brass cases last longer in your rifle's chamber and extractor, producing less wear over time. If you reload, brass is essential. Brass also extracts more reliably in cold weather and is easier to clean up after range sessions. The reloadable aspect alone can offset the higher initial cost on ammunition.
