Just ordered a case/880 from SG Ammo

[markophonic]

I just ordered a case/880 from SG Ammo. I received an email stating that 7.62x54R was back in stock.

It's 7.62x54R Romanian 1980s 148 grain LPS Light Ball Surplus ammo

Anyone ever shot any of this?

[Joeinthehills]

Wow, that is new stuff

Did you take a deep breath when you first open the can?

I placed the order for it just prior to making my post...I don't have it yet.

Pretty cool, I wonder if it's filthy to shoot like Romanian 8mm.

I should have mentioned that a case/880 rounds of the Romanian is $159.50 and it was $26.00 shipping ($185.50 shipped).

Less expensive than I can buy locally...it's anywhere from $100-$130 local.

I would gladly give you $85 for your 1500 rounds so you can start a new stash

SGammo is one of my favorite online ammo vendors.

It's nowhere near as bad for some reason. I have to spend 4x time the amount of time/patches cleaning my k98 than I do my mosin with romanian surplus.

Dave don't shoot corrosive, so what he really means is he has some nice paper weights.

So I just got the spam can from aimsurplus for 89.99 but no can opener : (

The edge is folded over. I found the easiest way was to grind off the top edge. If you don't have a grinder (or don't want to grind on it) then a flat file works with more effort. Brute force hammer and chisel/screwdriver works too.

And i just ordered a box of "Chinese 7.62x54R, 20 rounds per box, 400 rounds per case. Copper washed steel case, berdan primed, corrosive surplus ammunition" from SFRC (www.theammosource.com).

$99.95 CDN

Regular $149.95... so 33% off

It's coming by UPS and I should have it by Jan. 15.

It shoots well in my '34 Tula MN and my '43 Tula SVT-40.

Yep, you only get an opener if you order 2 cans, they're available on ebay for not much money if you really want one. I'd just go ahead and order another two cans though, you'll need them fairly soon.

That site has Russian SKS`s for $389, but wait there's more! You also get 1320 rounds of ammo with it. A Russian SKS is $500 here.

These posts get me all fired up to go out and get some more. Then, I go down to the cave and see what I have and think, how will I ever shoot 9000+ rounds. Just a matter of time though...
