7.62X54R Ammo

Post by Burrhead »

I don't shoot surplus as I reload but thought someone might be interested in this 7.62X54R by the case of 880 rounds.

Shit, that's a big price on that one, cheaper to buy 100 cases, some bullets a die set with Lee hand press and reload it. Remember when Czech was under a hundred bucks a case of 760?

For me the price was a big ??? as I load all my 7.62 ammo, so I posted this up and figured you guys would either say WOW or get the result I got. Oh well it was just something I came across when checking on a 45 pistol I was looking at. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the effort Burrhead. Here is the best site I have found for pricing ammo. http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=7.62x54R
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Thumbs up for Gun-Deals. Saved me lots of money especially on 7.62x54R. Pay close attention to SGAmmo's shippping. Sam may be a little higher on the cost per case but he makes up for it with cheaper flatrate shipping.

Absolutely. I've been using it for years. As a matter of fact it's all I use. I have an 880/rd crate, 4/440rd tins of it and about 100rds left of an opened tin of 440rds. Never a problem or misfire.
