Russian Ammo Imports Banned Today

[Great-Kazoo]

I think part of the panic was the average shooter, myself included, having no clue about how much is authorized on a Form 6- one connex full, or two years of full connexes.

The sky isn't falling. But it sure as hell gonna be more expensive. To keep it from hitting you

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.

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.

former Warsaw pact countries who import ammo still makes 7.62x39, 5.45, and 54r.

I would find it hard to believe that somebody wouldn't fill the 5.45mm vacuum. PPU even makes 7.92x33mm, which hardly has a large number of shootable platforms.
