Author Topic: Cheap ammo? (Read 1526 times)

I'm looking for some hard-to-find ammo and would like some assistance of knowledgeable person. I need 7.62 Nagant ammo. Preferable, cheaper the better. Can anyone suggest a site?

So far, I found aimsurpus is the cheapest around... 50 for 23$

MidawayUSA 7.62X54 Russian Rimmed

180 grain boat tail ammo. New manufactured. 400rds for $99.99 Not a bad deal for bulk ammo. MidayUSA allways has deals on bulk ammo and they ship right to your house. I buy all my ammo and reload supplies from them and always get great service. HIGHLY recommend them.

I assumed since you were asking for 7.62 Nagant ammo it was for a Mossin Nagant rifle.

I realized that many people are unaware that 7.62 Nagant = 7.62 x 38R.

Now, is that the same that is used in the Tokarev Automatic, or is it a different rimmed round?

Tokarev = 7.62 x 25

Ahh, thanks. I was wondering if they were the same round.

Did you bother looking at my links or not?

The 23 bucks for 50 was probly about as cheap as that stuff gets.. it is a very specialized round.. You can't even make the stuff or reload it. Real ugly with the case mouth part.

even when you have some ammo.. you don't have much... it is a weak round.. makes a 38 spl seem powerful.

Yep, I already searched those before you posted it. One site is at least two bucks more than from aimsurplus. Other is 5$ more.

That cal may not have extreme power, but I assume just like 7.62x25, it has ridiculous penetration. Plus, it has good history behind it.

no.. the tokerev ammo is very high velocity... the nagant ammo is low velocity...around 38 spl velocity but with a much lighter round. Very low energy and penetration levels.

A good round to compare it with would be something like the 32 auto round.

It was probably fine for shooting people in the back of the head from six inches though.
