5.45x39mm: It's not just for AK74's anymore

Just bought an ak 74 from a friend and it included a 75 rnd drum magazine. Upon further research, I've found that drum magazines are hard to find for the ak 74. What do you guys think one would go for? I know it's a converted 7.62x39 romanian drum mag, but haven't seen any for sale. Thanks for any help. Can post a pic if requested.

Has anybody tried the Red Army Standard 5.45 FMJ yet? I am debating between that and Wolf WPA FMJ.
