Century Arms’ Red Army Standard ammunition in 5.45x39mm (brand part no. AM3423 box) loads a 60-grain full metal jacket bullet with a lead core, built for AK-74 pattern rifle owners who want authentic, affordable ammunition for the cartridge the rifle was designed around. Century Arms builds Red Army Standard on steel cases, the same lacquer-coated construction Warsaw Pact ammunition has used for decades, keeping cost down for shooters who put real volume through an AK-74 or Krebs-pattern rifle. The 60-grain FMJ bullet is a straightforward, reliable practice profile rather than a specialty defensive or precision loading. For 5.45×39 owners who want to feed their rifle without breaking the bank, this rifle ammunition is built to run.
