Best price for 308 or 7.62x51

[robin614]

I am a newbie and just acquired a Poly Tech M305 (M14). I figure I might need lots of ammo for practice.

I live in the Greater Toronto area. Does anybody know where to get good price for the ammo. 500 or 1000 rds?

Thanks.

Frontier had some SA .308 a while back for 840 ish. I suggest investing in reloading equipment.

Thanks but I think they are out too.

Just keep checking the EE for Ammo in your region! there is no better deal on anything, at least not that I have found than on our EE.

Per 1000?

that .84 cents a shot....for surplus??....non reloadable surplus???....ouch

Just a few years ago $300 per 1000 (.30c per shot) was the norm

Yep klunk, a few places had that SA .308 surplus for about $600/1200 rounds at the beginning of this year, but I imagine recent $800+ prices are purely for the gouge.

Too bad I only got the M305 now. I guess I will spend more time with my CZ 858 then.

you'll find $12.50 a box of twenty and better pricing in quantity at the guns shows.

range is from .60 to .75 for good quality surplus (reloadable non corrosive)

There's little or no surplus 7.62 NATO ammo around. Your local gun shop can order anything you want in any quantity you want. Be prepared to pay up front. Or get into reloading.

Get what you can, but, If you are presented with Portugese be willing to pay upwards of 1.00 per round, but do buy it

Hirtenberger is OK as well!

I recently sold 600 rounds to a fellow for .65 cents a piece plus pickup discount. So keep your eyes peeled when these things come up on EE. Don't dabble either, buy it before it is gone. My auction was SPF within 4 minutes, that was probably more to do with my slow checking of my inbox.

 

[robin614]

Ok, Thanks guys. I will be on the lookout for gun shows.

Its sad when commercial is cheaper than stuff made 30 years ago

walmart still hasn't adjusted its prices in most areas... $23/box for .303 british, $14.50/box for 30-30, $17/box for .308

Dauphin, MB Walmart today - Winchester Silvertip = $ 29.86 / 20, up about $ 12.00 from early this summer. And all the rest of their "new" stock showing the same price increase. Glad I stocked up then. Kayceel

I reload premium rounds for about a dollar, every component (including brass) is new. If I cheap out alot, and re-use old brass, I can bring it down to about 50 cents a round.
