Mybe i should of said had. A couple of my freinds bought two cases apice back in the spring. They bought the rifles casue the ammo was cheap and easy to get.

I called Epps in the Fall about 54R, all sold out as expected.

If you have a range that sells ammo close buy, you might be able to find some there. I found 8 boxes of new S&B at my local range...Non-corrosive too!

Phone Ellwood Epps In orillio Ontario www.ellwoodepps.com. They have crates of military surplus 7.62X54R. Its really cheap. The hunting loads are still made by norma.

In USA there are at least 12 different companies of hunting ammo, in Canada I found only Winchester, S&B and Igman.

Mosin's barrels were set back and rechambered for 30'06 in the US. It could be done, but it leaves little meat on the barrel right at the mouth......

I wonder what kind of accuracy they got sending a .308" bullet down a .311"/.312" bore? I've been told that the bullet diameter of the Mosin Nagant is .310" but the two I have, plus the brand new SKS-D that I bought a few years ago slugged out at .312" exactly. The Norinco slugged at .312" before there was even a round down the pipe I couldn't even imagine that kind of a conversion, unless you're a handloader, and stuff .311" bullets in you '06 cases. 303-06 maybe? Or better yet a 7.7X63mm

Same situation for owners of Lee Enfields that can go as big as 0.316" and Mausers that I've seen at 0.325". Sometimes they shoot well with jacketed and other times it takes cast to get good accuracy.

Sounds like CanAm should bring in a million round container of x54R.

I may be the only one who didn't get the memo, but there was a thread (and some of his emails) mentioned a shipment of 54r that was not part of the 54r ban that stopped the rest. Maybe I heard wrong, but several times I've heard august as a tentative date for more of it coming in

Correction...I spoke with Marstar...they have all they ammo in 54r anyone could want, they just cannot sell it.

That's nuts!!! WTH?

That's nuts!!! WTH?

All due to NRCan. I believe there are some other threads about this, but it has to do with the Feds and there ammo testing/certification.

This is only affecting surplus by the way....
