    any chance of bulk .308/7.62x51?

    To my knowledge the whole shipping problem is still at play with Cosco, but is there any prospect in the near future of getting in bulk/surplus ammo in this caliber? I'd love to see more Norinco specifically as my rifle seems to love it, but i recall being told that there is no more of the old stock and it would have to be new production. I just want something that doesn't equate to tossing a dollar down range every time i pull the trigger, and Tula 308 sucks.

    Maybe later this year. Do not expect the old prices over again, sorry. Costs have more than doubled.

    Just to give you an idea, New ammo in 7.62x51 runs about 70 cents per rd landed at todays exchange. Add dealer and retail markups and you can see why it is not a priority.

    Yeowzahs... Glad I grabbed that last crate at a certain vendor's half off everything boxing day sale. The days of the $230 crate of Norinco .308 may likely never return...
