Here are a few sites. Only you can say if they are good.

Forgot about www.ammoman.com. Price includes shipping.

Last time I looked price on the 7.5 surplus had gone up to the point Wolf Gold ammo was cheaper. And the Wolf Gold is boxer primed for easy reloading.

I don't plan on reloading it, for the ammount I shoot the gun its not worth the time or money for the dies/ conversion kits. So it will basicly be just like 22 shells... they just go in the brass bin, when it gets full it goes to the scrap yard.

"when it gets full it goes to the scrap yard."
So... how many other people just felt their hearts stop for a second?
-
you can't reload 22 LR shells... so it ethier land fill or recycled.

I keep hearing that ammo prices are gonna go up more and more .. especially next year. :(

Why don't you try . . . http://www.georgia-arms.com/index.asp (http://www.georgia-arms.com/index.asp) I like them a lot and they usually have pretty fair prices. :D

7.62 NATO brass -- $150 / 1000 / 5 reloads = $0.03 per load (I stocked up on several 1000 a few months ago)
147 gr M80 projectiles -- $80 / 1000 = $0.08 per load (I stocked up on several 1000 a few months ago)
CCI34 primers -- $0.03 per load
IMR 4895 -- $0.12 per load
Handcrafted 7.62 NATO = $0.26 per cartridge --- should be similar to your cartridges. Doesn't take many rounds to pay off a modest set up.
Plus, I find reloading to be cathartic...
