JAB is correct. Bulk ammo is easily available. You can get some bulk hunting ammo, Federal sells ammo cans full of hunting ammo at a reduced rate. (9mm, 45 acp, and 7.62x25 hand gun ammo is available in bulk too)
Chance favours the prepared mind
Buggie,
I just got 2 cases of 7.62 (non-corrosive) from Wolverine supplies. $100 to ship. Now that I told you buggers I won't be able to buy more next payday 😥 I went through 5 of my usual websites and all the calgary stores before I thought of them. Things Military are in Calgary and had lots of 7.62 last weekend but it is the 'dirtier' version. If you're interested.
You should also go down to the Shooting edge, they have cases of several types of ammunition, mostly pistol and 12 gauge but they do have 308 by the case. I'm not sure if it is any cheaper than buying 10 boxes from wholesale as I wasn't comparing prices at the time. sorry.
I also would love to find 270 by the case if anyone finds any.
check out Budget Shooter Supply , Surrey BC, lowest porices anywhere, http://www.budgetshootersupply.ca/ great deals $262.00 for 1400 rounds 7.62 x 39
I bought the M305/7.62x51 combo from CanAm and love it. But where is all the surplus 7.62 now? Does anyone know who stocks it?
Frontier Firearms out of Prince Albert SK (frontierfirearms.ca) has the Norinco 7.62X51 in stock.
I just bought a 520 round spam can case of Norinco 7.62x51 (308), from SFRC in Ontario. Its not high quality target or hunting ammo, but its great for target shooting & stocking up in the survival room. Its steel case, but non corrosive primers, with brass coated case & brass coated fmj 147gr bullets. Cost me $240 plus tax & shipping, which was less than $300 shipped to my door. Steel cased ammo is'nt really for reloading, but its a good price & does'nt cause a big mess like corrosive 7.62x39 does.
If you want to save alot of money, because you shoot high quality ammo, then reloading is the way to go.
All of my high quality hunting ammo and handgun ammo is reloaded with my Lee classic cast turret press. Its cuts the cost roughly in half, and once you learn how to do it right, its way more accurate than factory or surplus ammo.
