Where is all the 7.62 x 51???

[Jedi_7.62]

Where is all the 7.62 x 51 ammo at? And where can I find 7.62 x 39? I did find some AK ammo but it was $200 for a case (1000rds).

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Cant help you on the 7.62x51; check AIM surpluss on the AK round. They are usually cheapest.

Uh, uh...

 

[spartacus2002]

the 7.62x51 is long gone.

 

[steveracer]

Where are you?

I have some laying around...

 

[kcmarine]

Uh, yeah, what spartacus said.

They're using a lot of it on the two way shooting range in a big litterbox overseas.

We used it all up.

First there was the German Hirtenberger. We bought all that. Then there was the Portugese, we bought all that. Then the Australian, then the South African, and we bought all that.

There's only so much surplus .308 floating out there, and not all of it gets imported. My next bulk purchase is going to be Georgia Arms Canned Heat; at about $400 per 1000 rounds, it's a far cry from the glory days of cheap .308, but you gotta do whatcha gotta do, I suppose.

Maybe someone can get Spain to stop dumping it in the ocean......Or maybe to stop South Africa from destroying the last 30-million rounds.....Ahhh to dream....

$200/1000. Sounds about right.

BTW 7.62x39 *is* AK ammo. And SKS, and Saiga and CZ and...

7.62x51 - about 5000 (2000 Port, the rest is SA and Lake City) of it is in my basement. About 4000 of components are there as well, ready for reloading.

Then again, 400 of the South African was just sacrificed last weekend for an Appleseed shoot

Most of the good ammo is gone until late July early August. or It's very overpriced

FWIW, I picked up 200 rounds of Privi Partisan 7.62x51, (the new stuff) and it was some of the best mil-surp type ammo I've fired. Clean, accurate and it all went boom. I've a feeling that S&B, Privi and smaller ammo companies are preparing to fill the gap for affordable, reliable ammo for us hungry .308 folks...Stay tuned.

Heheh I have a whole lot of it in my garage.

You might want to consider reloading. I know if I get a .308 I will start loading rifle.

You might want to consider reloading.

+1. My 7.62x51 costs me less than $.15 per round, not counting the brass.
