7.62x54R MN ammo

Hi

Just wondering if anybody has any leads on where to get affordable ammo for a M38. I am thinking of buying one but don't want to get stuck with an russian club/doorstop

Thanks

Have you tried Epps in Orillia or Al Simmons in Hamilton?

Consider making up some cast bullet loads. I'm trying that now.

I'm in Edmonton Alberta and I can't seem to find reloadable brass at an affordable price.. I may have to spend a pot full o' cash at mil arm.

Trade Ex is still advertising brass on their web site: Prvi. Boxer primed. New. $60.00 per 100.

Haven't seen any 7.62x54R anywhere lately. Glad I picked up a case two summers ago. Anyone seen any surplus .308 up here?

I'm taking it there isn't many places selling tins of milsurp up there?

Stuff is CHEAP down here.

The government severely regulates the import of ammunition, including surplus, into Canada. It's to keep us safe, you know.

The only "cheap" surplus available right now is Czech steel-core 7.62x39. It sells for around $200 per case of 1120. We're fortunate your ATF declared steel-core M43 to be evil, otherwise we wouldn't even have this stuff on the market, IMO.

You think you have it bad ?????
The best price I have for 7,62 x 54 is £32.00 per 100 yes per 100 and thats for hungarian 1980 vintage light ball
So just spare a thaught for us guys in the UK.
