I was told today that any surplus 5.45x39 made prior to 1987 is not 7n6 but in fact 5n7.
Any truth to this? |

The 7N6 bullet has a 1.43 g (22.1 gr) steel rod penetrator. Since 1987 this penetrator is hardened to 60 HRC. The latter 7N6 cartridge can penetrate a 6 mm thick St3 steel plate at 300 m and 6Zh85T body armour at 80 m. |
