Ammunition Source

Spikestrip · 12-16-2006, 03:08 PM

I heard that 8mm milsurp ammo is getting harder to find... I got ahold of some in stripper clips a year or so ago pretty cheap, but it looks like the cost is rising.
Does anyone have a good source they might want to share?

Thanks!

I've used AmmunitionToGo.com, and previously, CenturyArms.com. They usually have good prices on Milsurp, just looking for more choices. Reloading rifle ammo is a little out of my expertise!

Thanks!

You might want to try reloading just for the fun of it, a very good hobby in its own right. Most mil-surp ammo runs around the same for cost it's the shipping and handling that gets you.

If you can read you can safely reload. The load manuals have the recipes you need. You can get a Lee Anaversary Reloading kit pretty cheap.

Find a fellow shooter and watch him/her reload and ask your questions. I have reloaded and fired 1,000s of rounds with no problems.

It's fun and it's interesting. Finding the "pet" load your rifle likes best is the payoff.

Inter-Ordnance has lots of ammo but all of the mil-surp is nasty and most is corrosive. If you shoot mil-surp, plan on a min. of 1-2 hrs cleanup to do it right.

Spikestrip,
Sorry for attaching my post to your post, but I am on a WebTv, and it loads slooooooooooow, and it would not load the "message box", so I just atached it to a post that was similar.
