I collect surplus for many reasons and one of the biggest is they are cheap to shoot. I just saw some Russianicon Sniper ammo (light ball, somewhat match) for $89.00 a can on E-bay. Thats a little high, I've seen some in PA gun shows for $69.00 and regular for as little as $44.00 for heavy ball. My bolts seam to like the heavy a little more than the light ball and the Semi likes the light stuff-F.W.I.W.-SDH
