I'm not saying I'm going to buy an AK (though I'm certainly not buying an AR, so don't even bother), but if I did but an AK I would consider these two cartridges, with no thoughts given to the 5.45x39. I know that the 7.62x39 will probably never be super cheap again. I know the 5.56x45 may be more available in the foreseeable future. This is not about price or availability, it's about performance.
At or inside of 300 yards, is there an appreciable difference in terminal performance? And if so, which one is superior? And please bear in mind that I'm talking about FMJ, not expanding projectiles.
