7.62x54r soft tip ammo?

[Steelcolor]

anyone know where I can find some decent hunting rounds for my mosin?

Prvi, and the other variants of the same brand (PPU, etc.) makes a 150 gr soft point round.  I imagine, like most other ammunition calibers, its probably out of stock just about everywhere.  At one time, AIM Surplus had it regularly in stock, no idea now ...

A quick search yields only this so far :

I have about half a box of of that I picked up at The Reloaders Bench in Mt. Juliet years ago.  Actually don't think I have the box anymore, no idea who it was made by.  Friend of mine used some of it to euthanize some cripled horses.

What grain might it be ?

Check SGAMMO.com.  Very reputable and one of the best online ammo dealers.  They have PRVI soft point in stock.

It’s $22.95 for 20 rounds but that’s the age we live in.  Would have been $15 a year ago.

There's no guarantee that any of the online vendors won't have a security breach at some point, but all of the typical ammunition sites have pretty good reputations overall.  I've bought quite a bit over the years from Sportsman's Guide, Ammoman, and others, usually from searches on ammoseek or similar.  Check shipping costs as you go, that has usually been the determining factor in deciding who I went with ...

Don't remember if I've ever bought anything from them or not.  Doesn't ring any bells, one way or another.

Frankly, everything I see available online at the moment is priced way beyond what I would pay anyway.  I won't be ordering anything in the near future.  As one of those evil ammo hoarders, I don't need to anyway ...

Everybody started somewhere, we've all been there.  Be somewhat patient, these shortages come and go, despite what all the gloom and doom crowd will tell you. Just don't be like so many and assume that you can always get what you want when you want when the inevitable happens, and once again ammo becomes cheap and plentiful.  When that happens, buy up what you can afford when you can, gradually build up your supplies in whatever calibers you own.  Come over to the dark side, and embrace your inner hoarder ...
