I usually ask you to predict the outcome of these tests but I'm going to spoil this one. It sucks
At least for defensive purposes. 5.45x39 FMJ sucks and now, the only load that had potential for defensive use failed miserably.

Well! Scratch that one off my list.

If it penetrates that poorly from a handgun, just think how poor penetration would be from a rifle.

Crap. I'm retarded. Wrong forum. Mods, please delete. Sorry for the trouble.

No trouble at all.

It was still a good, informative video.

I have only one unopened can of 5.45 left.

Maybe it will last the rest of my life.

BTW, that was a gentle way to point out my mistake. Thank you.
