Prvi Partizan will be rich!

5.56 ammo way up, now 7.62x39 going to be expensive. Pretty soon I'll be able to shoot my 6.8 SPC in 3 Gun matches and not feel bad about the cost.

So what you all are saying is that now's a good time to clear my shelves? Well, it would be if I had anything on the shelves ...

I find this comical, everyone used to bust my balls because I shoot AK's in 5.56/.223. Guess I don't have to worry anytime soon.

I have a few in different calibers. Not an issue ammo wise.

But it also goes back to the question asked, here a few times. What's a good number of mags to have? i believe 10 mags and 1k per firearm. Although this 1911 kick i'm on, is testing that limit.

[MrPrena]

I guess I am very low with reserves.
I usually do 200 rounds per firearm on common rounds and 5mags.
as for uncommon rounds, 2-3 mags and 60 rounds.
some mags cost over 200 like sako and can't afford to have 10.

I have 9 rounds for my hunting rifle, is that good?

So what are the reloading options for Russian stuff? I know the primers are different, and the cases are steel, but doesn't brass cased, regular primered stuff exist, or can be made?

Yeah there?s boxer primed brass out there. It?s just so expensive compared to the cheap stuff that most people just stick with the cheap stuff. Before the hard times we have now, it wasn?t worth it in my mind to reload for, but you could.

If you really needed to, there are ways to reload the steel cases, but the process is much more tedious and the primers are harder to find.

It has no bearing on it. There has always been domestic production of 7.62x39 and yes, they use regular brass casing. Hunting rounds and the like, and they would've always been reloadable using regular rifle primers. I suspect production will ramp up there tremendously.

Yes there's dies and boxer primed brass for x39. What you might need is the correct powder funnel, for your 550, press. Which i believe i have one, sitting here.
