2008年12月18日 · With the 5.45, I shot a feral mixed bull,hound at around 50 yards center body about 5inches behind shoulder, he immediately dropped, groaned and died.... Rifles used were an m-16a4 20" bbl with 1x9 twist 55gr bullet FMJ.... 5.45 used was a Polish Ak-74 with standard 60 gr FMJ russian army bullet....

2013年10月15日 · It seems the pricing for the 5.45 round is even better than the 7.62x39 and the ballistics seem comparable to the 5.56. Pricing is another major factor when it comes to the 5.45 as I've found it for less than 1/2 the price of the 5.56 …

2010年10月9日 · I think FMJ wise the 5.45 has a slight advantage, and cost wise as long as the surplus is there it has the price advantage, but in the grand scheme of overall ammo availability the 5.56 has the advantage, in the area of platform accuracy 5.56 has the advantage, and when it comes to which caliber has the most lethal bullets available (v-max 5.45 ...

2010年10月26日 · Wish the Box-O'-Truth would have put various 5.45, and various 5.56 head to head on the exact same test, but oh well. Neither 5.56 or 5.45 penetrated all that much in comparison to 7.62x39, or 51, I think we all know that. I think 53gr 7n6 is better than 55gr m193, but comparable in function.

2007年11月20日 · The pros of lighter carry weight and faster follow ups seen by the small and fast bullets outweigh the one argued advantage of the bigger 7.62x39's 30 cal bullet, penetration. The 5.56 and 5.45 both exhibit exceptional penetration through likely barriers, enough so that a .30 caliber round is not need IMHO. OK I’m over it...sorry for the rant.

2012年3月6日 · Short and simple you are behind the times, the concept of the 5.56 was basically perfected by the russians who thieved the concept in the 5.45 and made it better. Both rounds work and debating this is much more about prefernce for the average person. Anyone ignoreing the shortfalls of the 5.56 are idiots.

2011年3月20日 · I have been considering a lever action lately - Cody Conagher is known for his Cowboy action shooting levers, and sells a tuned version for around $1500. What interests me is a .45 ACP version is available. (YES, .45 ACP not LC - he builds them for 'Wild Bunch' shoots.) With 18" barrel, this would be very handy, especially in a take-down version.

2012年3月1日 · I'm asking specifically for the most reliable ammunition for an AR15 (Mine will be a Mil Spec 1/7 twist AR). What 5.56 Ammo do you count on in case the SHTF situations, which ammo has the least FTF rounds. Where do you buy it? I've been looking at ammo for a few weeks trying to decide what...

2016年6月19日 · cast bullets are generally restricted to a certain velocity limitation, this limitation is a bit higher with gas checked, hard cast, or coated/plated bullets but youre still looking at a velocity significantly lower than what 223 generally operates at.. if youre going to cast bullets, cast them as heavy as you can to compensate for that velocity limitation, or load them up for SBR usage where ...

2012年8月5日 · As the military was looking for a 9mm pistol, there was always the 9mm vs 45 acp debate going on in the background. People from both sides of the debate voiced their opinion, then there was the FBI ballistics test, how the 9mm and the 45 acp preformed in times of war.
