What's everyone's choice...new commercial stuff...not 7n6 stuff.

Anything you can find right now. Preferably barnual if it's around

Like it or not, after the surplus stuff was drying up I grabbed a few thousand rounds of Tula which runs fine.

AK Operators Unions did a comparison a few years ago between a bunch of brands and I decided that the Tula branded stuff was the best for me after the 7N6.

What are you doing with it? I've got several spam cans of 7N6 stashed away but I jut shoot whatever for fun and making holes in stuff. I don't use it to hunt or target shoot.

The last 545 ammo I bought was back in 2019 & it was RAS by Vymple for $199.00 plus shipping, everything before that was GT by Vymple for $179.00 plus shipping as it always shot well. There was a couple of cases of 545 made in Ukraine that was corrosive & came in 1400 count crates, but it was advertised as non corrosive & ticked off a bunch of buyers.

It's too expensive to buy now, so I don't. There are more than a few crates or 7n6, but that came from Knob Creek years ago & is being saved for a rainy day!

Seriously, we need some sort of savior to get us out of this 5.45 supply funk.   PSA keeps taking their sweet time with the Soviet Arms brand.  They were supposed to release it 2nd quarter of 2023, now it's pushed to the Fall but I'm not going to hold my breath.  I traded a 14.5 LaRue UUK build last year for a Gen 2 Galil Ace 5.45 and the more the CPR creeps up for 5.45, the more I regret that trade...c'mon 5.45 master race lords. SAVE US!

Right now the answer is “whatever you can get”, but if you live somewhere near an Academy Sports, their “Monarch” house brand ammo is reboxed Barnaul and should be good to go.
