AMMO PRICING

**GAZZAMCK** · 18-04-2016, 13:45

Hey guys, just a thread to see who is paying what for 7.62x39, no need to name dealers just province will be fine, want to try and work out a rough average and further this to which regions pay what.

TIA

tactical .22 had stock last week, cannot remember pricing.

In Kzn ive purchased from R5.30 (PER 1000) R6.00 even R9.50

have been told i can get them for R4.80 when local dealer gets stock.

all chinese steel core, we dont get choice here, would like some SP or some HPs

Damn that's cheap, prices I've seen in Gauteng lately are R4750 for a tin of 750.

R4750/750 seems to be the normal benchmark.

I can get them for slightly less in one or two places, IIRC the last place I got them was a flat R6per. I have had a dealer offer me R4/round, for orders of 10 000 or more.

Be happy with Chinese steel core. It has some interesting capabilities.

other local guy charging R9.50 per round is out to lunch, agreed R4700 odd per 750 is looking pretty standard

Brendank this is true! Been very happy with it, punched holes through both sides of a rim and tyre yesterday.

would be very keen on some yugo M67s...(tumble)

would just be nice to have a selection of ammo i mean

Outsider question: is it viable to reload for this? That is probably more expensive but at least one gets to play with different bullet types?

**GAZZAMCK** · 18-04-2016, 15:12

i have a friend who was reloading using lead, the issue he had as finding boxer primed brass

to be honest im too lazy for the run around, buy a case of 1500 get discounted price

if this dealer comes through at R4.80 hell i might take two!!

Reloading is possible using a .303Brit bullet (.311"). The cost does not really justify the reloading process. Brass cases are hard to find, but are available.
Using the most expensive S265 powder also does not help much.
