From what I think I know:

rcNC (not translated correctly from Cyrillic)
Lacquer steel case w/mild steel core bullet.

453-80-3
Lot 453, cartridge assembled in 1980 in Ulyanovsk USSR

Center on the right has to do with the actual powder manufacture date/details.

I was going to hazard a guess of 1980, and "Uly" ammo is typically good stuff! I have a crap-ton of it in 7.62 stashed away.

Did not know one-way or other if was steel core . I familiar with the ( n76 ) designation, but nothing else . I cant read those Commi spam cans for shizt, so guessing it is in the high-end of 50 grain bullet weight ?
I got not problems with old 80's vacuum packed for being GTG for bang every time .

5.45 Ak ammo, 1080rds, made in 1980. That's all I can tell at a glance. Good stuff from what I've heard.

Seeking translation for 5.45x39 Spam can markings

Hello All, Investigating this case of two spam cans of apparently Russian surplus 5.45x39 and I have two questions: - date of manufacture (1976 and 77?) - are the primers likely to be corrosive? Thanks for any insight...

They're Russian 5.45x39 loads.

They're Russian 5.45x39 loads.

it was obvious that the can was 5.45 . that is sole purpose for me picking it up.
What I was not sure of . was it steel core ? , and was russian, polish, bulgarian, romanian, croatian..etc.

What is the current going price for this type of 5.45 x 39?

What is the current going price for this type of 5.45 x 39?

Sellers asking under .40CPR might attract buyers. Eventually.
Nobody wants to shoot their stash, but inflated asking prices don't seem to have any takers.
