Good luck! You can get Norma brass for $75 per 50 (Cabelas) and Lapua brass at $92 per 100 at (E. Arthur Brown). Graf & Sons sells Prvi Partisan brass, but out of stock right now. I lucked out 2 years ago and got some Winchester primed brass (made by S&B) and Lapua 7.62x53R, both on sale at E. Arthur Brown. I have found limited reloading data available, limited powders that work well (Varget, IMR 4350, or hyper expensive VV powders), and only Hornady 174 FMJBT and Sierra 174 MK bullets.
Folks across the pond and in commonwealth countries talk about getting S&B 180gr bullets, but I have not found any in USA. Many folks in USA pull bullets from surplus and redo the ammo, often just recharging same cases and topping off with same tips, only with more precise powder measurements.
Frankly, my Fin M39 likes the Bulgarian Heavy 182 gr yellow tip ball that I feed it. I am going to try some Russian light ball from plant # 188, or some Hungarian silver tip next. To me right now its not really worth reloading this caliber except for limited occasions, if you know a special very accurate load for your rifle, or if you cannot get the surplus ammo.
Graf Sons - The Reloading Authority has it for 45.99 per100
Out of stock. They have the Lapua for twice the price, though.Quote:

Aimsurplus has been selling 7.63 X54R for $11.50 for a box of 20 loaded PRVI ammunition. I bought 10 boxes from them awhile back. I see they are out of stock also now. However, its worth watching their site for a restock. Good ammunition and relaodable brass in addition.
Prvi 7.62x54R 150grn FMJ 20rd Box
Buffalo Arms has Remington at $49.00 / 100
Few auctions on Gunbroker and Auction arms have some. Midway has Norma, but it is not cheap. I say go with buying Prvi Partizan Ammo and reusing the cases.
Just picked up a hundred at Buffalo arms.... Thanks for your help!!:thup:Quote:
