7.62x54R source in BC (GVRD area)?

[poweredbybeer]

I'm wondering if there's any sources for bulk 7.62x54R in the lower mainland area, here in BC? I mean anywhere in the valley, I'm willing to drive as far as Chilliwack (I'm out there once a week these days anyway). I sent an inquiry to canadaammo.com, but I can't bank on just one place carrying the stuff, I'd like to find another source. Marstar seems to have lots, but it's the 147 grain Czech stuff and it's kinda pricey , even more-so after shipping! Any help would be much appreciated Thanx!

Order some cheap Hungarian crap from Districorp. It shoots surprisingly well for 50+ year old surplus ammo.

Is that it? Nowhere else to get 7.62x54R? Nobody else know where I can get some?

I just checked Districorp's prices, and Marstar is actually cheaper than them so I'll probably get a crate from Marstar at this point. It's the light 147 grain stuff, which is fine since I have no desire to beat myself senseless with the hard kicking heavy-ball stuff, but still, I wish there were a little more variety

It does help, thanx

On a related note, does anyone know where to get 7.62x54R used brass?? I've been thinking of getting into reloading for quite a while, no time like the present!

The only manufacturers of brass cased x54R approved for sale in Canada are Prvi, Igman and S&B (win). The only country to widely use brass cases for x54 since WWII is Yugoslavia. I see Yugo x54 in the US sometimes. Your best bet is to buy boxer brass off ebay or from Grafs.

bcredneck sells the Graf brass.

Custom Reloading in Maple Ridge @ 604 463-2484 handles the Districorp stuff and he sells it at the Port Coquitlam Range too.

Good to know, sounds like there are more options than I thought Where can I get some soft-point stuff, the Igman or whatever it is? I remember SIR having some about a year ago but I haven't seen any since.

If I were to start reloading for this round, where can I get .311 bullets from? I should probably be asking this in the Reloading forum...

 

[HPL]

The problem with the Igman stuff is that's it's so inaccurate that it's not much of a pleasure to shoot just for the brass.

As for bullets, I use .303 British bullets with no problems. I slugged my barrel to make sure that it's the right size.

If you need .311 bullets you can find them at wholesale sports or russel sports.look under .303 cal and remington brand name.
