I was talking to Chris (the NY ammo guy) about 7.62x54r today. He says its drying up and what's here is here. This is also what I'm hearing from every dealer I've been asking about it. I heard prices at the last Knob Creek shoot/show were through the roof.
Might be the time to buy some boxer-primed brass in 54R...
...runs about 50 cents a piece, new.
Prvi Partizan 182gr FMJBT is available for ~$363 per 500 rounds which makes it~$113 over the brass cost alone. Rich compared to surplus fodder, but none of that is in stock usually.
Either that or grab some solder and tape to covert 7.62 NATO for your Mosin.
MKE (people that make ZQI brand of ammo) will not be renewing their contract with Walmart. they came up with their new brand of ammo that they will market and distribute themselves w/o walmart or any other middleman involvement.
their new US brand is 'Guardian Ammunition' and it's already out on the market. walmart will sell off remaining stocks of ZQI and we will most likely not see any more ZQI from that point on. also probably should forget about bargain price point of ZQI. As far as i heard MKE intention is to compete price wise with other quality brands of brass ammo and not with bargain basement variety brands.
Oh well...so much for that idea!
I knew that once they established some market share, the bargain pricing would disappear.
Do you know if MKE ever produced 54R?
I know I've shot their "MKE" marked 8mm Mauser ammo before (even though I've never seen it on their product list).
Time to reload, comrades.
I was blown away at Collectible in Merrimack on Monday. Grabbed some more Golden tiger food for the AK and looked at the spam tins of x54r. $250!! Sweet Jesus it was only a few months ago I was seeing them at $130-$140 and saying, nah too high. Oh well, I guess I should have grabbed a few more tins 6 months ago.

Steel cases, which kinda suck. Hornady tipped projectiles are nice. M39, 100 yards, iron sights.
$250 is gouging unless some special variant. Shame on them (or perhaps their distributor).
What was the GT ammo going for?
