    What are some good sources to pick some up? I just picked a Mosin up today. So, I'll need to start stocking up on ammo. I'll also be at the 1500, so I'll see what they have their.

    Edit: Just checked Midway, and practicaly all of their 7.62x54 is out of stock. I will not pay $22 + for a box either. I'm looking for 203 grain JSP's, in either Silver or Brown Bear. For my SHTF stash. The local shop has the 174 grain Brown Bear, which will be for my range stash.

    Thanks,
    Patriot

    Last case I bought was from Sportsmans Guide. Had a good price and free shipping. Couldn't beat them at the 1500.

    I'll give a +1 to AIM Surplus too. Have only purchased 5.56 from them but each time has been easy and fast.

    Have also ordered ammo from LuckyGunner.com in the past with great success. They are also an INGO Advertiser.

    Think I'm gonna get a Mosin myself, Looks like ammo is priced really good at the Sportsmans Guide web site. Corrosive so I'll have to clean after every shooting session but I'm a stickler on that anyway.

    At the last Indy 1500 there was a dude selling spam cans of it for $89 I believe. I cannot remember how many were in the cans, but my dad said that was a really good price. This guy was against the brick wall to the right of the entrance in the smaller side room. I am not sure if he will be there again, but I believe he only does shows.
