    Why is it...

    I can find re-loadable 7.92X33 Kurz, a round for which there's MAYBE a few thousand rifles in the states chambered for it but re-loadable 5.45X39, despite the couple hundred thousand AK74's, Tantals and other rifles chambered in it, there ain't squat?

    Tell me i'm not alone here!!!

    Probably because the demand for reloadable 5.45x39 probably isn't large enough for an ammo manufacturer to produce it, given the abundance of cheap, steel cased ammo.

    (I know you were probably asking a rhetorical question).

    I thought the same thing. PPU can make 8x50 lebel but no 5.45? But how often do you see 7.62x39 brass at the range? Several companies make it yet I've never seen one in real life
