This isn't any biggie in the sense that most places won't let you step onto their ranges with any steel core ammo, but it's a start to banning ammunition.
I know lead core is still good to go, and there are several manufacturers state side who still make 5.45.

The 7N6 is corrosive so you have to clean your rifle after using it, but it was so dirt cheap (2160 round crate for approximately $346.00) that it made sense to have some, okay a lot, say for the Zombie Apocalypse.
The other commercial manufacturers will fill the gap. Golden Tiger, Brown Bear, Red Army Standard are still producing commercial non-corrosive, so not the end of the world. Just sucks to see one more of the "death by a thousand cuts" scenario taking place.
Besides, Classic Firearms just reduced their price on the VEPR 12 by $200.00!! That always happens to me. LOL
