    I know there are crates of the Yugo ammo in US that translates to 70 cents a round. Bah.
    Follow through isn't just a shooting fundamental, it's a life skill.

    I located some 8x57JS between 24euros (PPU) and 27 euros (S&B) in France per 20rnd. The cheapest I can find is 600 euros for 800 rnd for some PRVI (still in France), which would indeed beat what you can find here..

    Anything over $30 is too expensive. I understand profit has to be made but I do have a feeling manufacturers or importers are taking advantage of this round. Last year PPU could be found for $21/box and now is well over $30 at most places. Local gun shop near Gatineau sells Igman, Bosnian so, so brand for $47 !!!!. Domestic brands are also around $40 at box stores.There are tens of thousands of Russian and Yugo captured 8mm Mausers in Canada plus the new guns in this caliber so it can't be a supply and demand issue. Not sure if it is possible for you as a dealer to contact manufacturers directly because Barnaul makes 30-06 that sells here for $19/box. It is a similar size round so I'm sure if then knew we are all thirsty for 8 mm they could make some at decent price and sell million of rounds here.

    I remember the $20/box ammo very well. It wasn't long ago and the round is far from dead. I don't know what's warranting these ridiculous prices.

    Lanz Shooting has S&B 8mm JS SP for $24.99. However it is only for pick up as they do not ship anymore. Too bad. That is the price I can accept as more realistic.
