Anyone have any suggestions as to where some decent ammo in bulk for a good price AND already on stripper clips might be found? Is it even packaged like that in a spam can?

ALso i'm still a newb and not sure if i need metal core, what grain, and probably a whole list of things to consider, but i'm not yet into this gun enough yet to know what to ask. So i turn to the pros to mooch off their experience. lol.

Thanks guys.

Aim Surplus may still have some on clips. Not sure tho.

I haven't seen any ammo on stripper clips advertised for about a year.

I figured that. All i see from the past couple of weeks of looking in paper wrapped spam cans.

THanks

Your best buy at the moment seems to be to order a spam can, 440 rounds, from SGAmmo and have it shipped to you will still beat buying Brown Bear locally, at least it does for me.

AHH!!!..

UPS should be here any minute with my spam can. What a wait. This last few minutes is more stressfull then waiting all weekend for it..

I never bought any of it on clips, not 7.62x54r anyway. Bought US M2 ball and 8mm Mauser on the clip, and some .303 British.

I wasn't sure if it can like SKS did on clips. So i just got a can. And good god its heavy.. time to send it down range a little at a time to lighten this can up..

How can I tell if i have Bulgarian or Russian? It was advertised as Russian. But i read stories that the wrong one ships some times.

Bulgarian will have a 10 on the headstamp. I would just as soon have it as the Russian.

I cracked the can tonight and have sliver tipped, red ring, 75 / 01 or 10 stamped on the end.

Its Bulgarian and not Russian?

Here is a pic of the bullet and the can.

Please disregard whats in the case... It belongs to my boss, Mr. Wallace.
