Anyone else having a hard time finding 7.62x54r for their Mosins? I have 1 full spam can but I can't seem to find more anywhere. I'm hesistant to continue shooting my Mosin if I'm not going to be able to replace what I use.

Rileys in hooksett has spam cans just 2 weeks ago.
$105 for 440 rds.
in MA I dont really bother looking for 54r.....its wicked overpriced.
of all the surplus ammo types, 7.62x54r and 7.62x39 arent going anywhere. Waaay too many people own these guns. Even if surplus ammo disappears the other ammo mfrs will start cranking out more 54r and 39

I never have a problem finding it north of the border. Even if I were to buy only one spam can it's worth the cost of gas for me. Everytime I see a spam can in Mass it's about $40-$60 more than getting it in NH. I'm frequently up that way so it's usually hardly out of my way to hit Collectibles or one of the places in Hooksett.

That works out to just shy of $200 per spam can (440 rounds). Bit pricy for me as I turned my back on it at $149.99 a spam can but if you are running low and in the area I guess it would work.
As opthers have said......save up some cash and Rileys or Collectable has the best prices. Collectable breaks a spam can every now and then and sells it by the paper sack for $5.

Yeah Riley's has the cheapest x54r right now. About $10 cheaper than Collectable arms. They had a huge stack of them on Friday when I was there. If you guys lived closer to me I'd be happy to pick up spam cans at Riley's as I drive by there every Friday on my way back to MA.

Thats a very fair price for ammo in the classifieds.

I picked up a box of Herters 180 grain soft point hunting rounds in 54R recently at Cabellas........17 bucks for 20 brass case non corrosive so not too bad. I fired 3 to check the shot group and it was respectable to take a deer with my M38 carbine. They REALY have some recoil compared to the surplus!
Thanks guys. I think a day trip to NH is in order. I'd like to have about a 1,000 rounds before I start shooting it more often.
Do you think this thing we have going on with Russia is effecting surplus imports?

This week I have been to Glenn's reloading and Ammo and FTS guns - both had spam cans for $115 I believe (I'm sure they were 115 at Glenn's, not sure about FTS). FTS had 2 spam cans today, Glenn's had several and a couple of the crates yesterday.

I only have a couple of the cans left, they're $99.99 each.
CZECH Silver tip is still in stock @ $7.99/20 This is the best stuff to spit out of a Mosin "bar none"
I did get cases of 500 rounds each today from Century Intl. My cost was $218.00 each, and it's on sale at $239.99
It's Russian, comes in 20 round boxes, "claims to be non corrosive", it's steel cased with a brass looking plating.
I have over 100,000 rounds, and will keep the price as posted above until I get to the last 20k rounds. At best it may bump up another five bucks after that.
I also received some Russian 7.62 Nagant ammo for anyone that has the Russian Revolvers, a few cases of .44 Russian, and a few boxes of Fiocchi 7.62x25
I hope this helps. Jim- Shooters Outpost
