5.45X39, what company ships cheap?

[Maddog5150]

or has a coupon for shipping? Im hoping to buy a few thousand rounds. Yes I did try searching also.

Cabellas has $4.95 flat rate shipping on all orders over $125.00! (and no tax to boot if you order over the internet)

I don't think Cabela's carries 5.45x39, and I'm also pretty sure that there would be additionial shipping charges on ammo.

Shipping on 2,160 rds of 5.45x39 from AIM is only $49 to my house. Comes out to 13.6 cents/rd to my door. That's not too bad?

Not possibly, it is corrosive. Make sure you clean appropriately after using. I like AIM, personally.

All this cheap ammo makes me giddy thinking about how much fun can be had.

Just ordered a case (2160 rounds) of Bulgarian from AmmunitionCenter in Stillwater Oklahoma--they're on gunbroker. Came to just under $287 shipped to my home in Vegas. I like the Bulgarian best of the 4 types of 5.45 I've used.

I like the Bulgarian best of the 4 types of 5.45 I've used.

Why?

[VegasND]

Why?

The Bulgarian (in spam cans) was manurfactured after the Russian I've seen so it's a little newer--probably not an issue at all, but if everything else is equal I'll take the newer ammo (I'm assuming all the 5.45 was made to the same Warsaw Pact specs--I have no idea if that's really true)

The two types of commercial ammo I've used worked fine but cost significantly more--but are advertised non-corrosive. (Wolf and Silver Bear)

I also left my Tantal for a week after shooting it without cleaning; I didn't do that on purpose, I took a bunch of guns out shooting and that one got skipped. No signs of corrosion with the Bulgarian, so I'm thinking it is not very corrosive at all. Remember though--I live in Las Vegas, very low humidity most of the time. Corrosive ammo may be a bigger problem in your climate.

I really don't think it matters which 5.45 you use. I bought the Bulgarian because it was available for immediate delivery (no back order) at a price near the lowest advertised.
