Last time I was there the 7.62 X54R seemed pretty pricey - only bought one box - at $14 - $16 if I remember correctly. What where your prices?

Cool I know you guys know this....

But, why not buy from the shootgun news advertisers? I know it's corrosive but, you clean your guns after you fire them, don't you? If you were a sniper and your shot was your pay check, I could see match ammo. What is wrong with surplus? It's cheap and, they mail it right to your door. Don't have to waste gas to go fetch it! Plus, often, it's packaged to be safe from water and time [ in cans]. I'm just courious.....

Wolf is $5 a box, Quality corrosive stuff is as low as $3 a box, or better in quantity.

Joe, is that ALL the ammo you got?

Get with it.......anything less than 1,000 per gun (not per gun calibers) is spitting in an empty bucket expecting overflow, lol.

I wish we had a Cabella's here. All we have is Sportsman's Warehouse and, in my humble opinion, they are a bunch of rip-off never have anything in stock idiots from Oregon.

Shaun,

There are no 7.62x39.

You have more than double the number of calibers than I have, but I have nearly the same amount of ammo on hand. Too bad I never have a chance to shoot it.

Allen I don't have a gun in that caliber as of yet -- Like I said the inventory is currently at the reloading point I have 30,000 pieces of brass in the shop to load for myself this summer. So right now I am in the process of building up enough bullets for me to start doing some loading when I am out at the Nosler plant in Oregon on the 21st I will pick up a couple of 5 gallon buckets and have then shipped.
