    New 5.45x39, need "range safe" ammo

    So I just got a new '74 (5.45 x 39) and of course I'm right in the wake of fire season. As you may know, 5.45 x 39 is not produced domestically, so it is all bi-metal = attracts a magnet = I cant shoot it till it rains. I'm of course speaking of the local ranges (at least the ones I've been to) mostly Burro. I did see that Hornady is supposed to be producing 5.45x39, and I assume it will be "range friendly", but it looks to be delayed in rolling out. Anyone know about it? Any ranges I can shoot my fire blazing WASP surplus at?

    Hornady makes it.

        My bad but here's a link to to look into. Grafs has Barnaul that is listed as lead core however you will need to call to confirm if the jacket is copper or bimetal.

        Graf & Sons, the reloading authority, has a wide selection of reloading supplies, shooting supplies, ammo and more.

          I also found silver bear, the sites that have it do not list bimetal on the bullet, so not sure on that either. Though I'm pretty much assuming if it's made overseas its going to attract a magnet.
