7.62x54R Ammo pretty cheap today

[alfsauve]

Was poking around for 7x57 brass and ammo, and noticed the price of 7.62x54R is down about 30%.

Aim Surplus has 440 tins for $73.   That's around 16.6cents a round.  19.3 cents per round with shipping if you buy 2 tins.

Might be good time to stock up, before prices are affected by the election.

My SPAM cans are stacked. Been splitting those 880 rd. (2 can) deals with a shooting partner for a while.

Also been doing that type of co-investing with other calibers. It works out nicely.

If anyone is looking for 7.62 X 54R cheap. J&G Sales out of Prescott, Arizona has a one day sale on it for $69.96 for a 440 round tin. That's the cheapest I've seen it in a long time. I'm thinking of getting several tins. It stores forever, and is good ammo for shooting out of Mosin's. The stuff is pretty accurate as well.

I took an empty steel case and took it to work and drilled out the primer pocket, and tapped it for 1/4-20 thread. I then ran a 1/4-20 die over some 1/4" brass tubing to make a nipple that I threaded into the back. I got some neoprene tubing and connected it to a plastic water bottle I keep filled with Windex. After I shoot the corrosive stuff, I stick the case in the chamber and give the bottle a squeeze while holding the barrel down. It does a good job of washing any corrosive salts out of the barrel until I get home and give it a good wet cleaning.

Good price . I may add a tin or two to my stock.

Neat idea on rinsing out the barrel.
