I wonder what the hassle is?

I order ammo online and it gets delivered. How much more hassle free can it get?

I just want to get some without waiting haha. Bought my mosin and 50 rounds at the gun show, but I've already shot it all.

Gander mountain has it... Small boxes...expensive boxes. SOMETIMES they have the 440rnd tuna cans for $99 or so. I boughta mosin a year ago. Its fun to shoot. Trust others and me. BUY IT ONLINE! 880rnd packs are $160 or so then its worth the $20 hazmat.

Wd has them 20 for $8, Bills has them 20 for $12, call ahead to Gunnys and they can get range friendly ammo 20 for $15, Coal Creek usually has them 20 for $12, Gander is usually out of stock. Frontier Arms has them 20 for $12. Randys has them 20 for $15. I think that should help you.

There is no hazmat fee on loaded ammo. Only shipping charges.

As recently as last week I didn't see any 54R ammo on the shelves at Gander Mountain, at all. I see that you are in Oak Ridge. You might check with Frontier Firearms. I have bought 7.62X54R ammo - packed into 'generic' looking greenish boxes - there in the past for a pretty decent price but am not in there all that often so I don't know what their supplies are like.

Farnsworth's usually has some in stock. Like most places in general, prices there vary depending on if you are buying what I assume is surplus ammo that is wrapped in brown, paper bundles or boxed ammo from commercial companies like Silver Bear, etc. Being a small store, sometimes they don't have both and, from time to time, they don't have either (but I think that is rare.) Vonore is a little way for you to drive, though, so I'd call and find out what they have before going.

Benton Shooter's Supply has always had some when I have been in there - but I'm not in there very often (their prices seem high, to me, and they aren't all that close to where I live.) Again, that is a bit of a drive but the up side is that it isn't far from the Spring Creek outdoor shooting range and it's 100 yard range so you could test out some of the ammo you buy (Spring Creek is a state run range, no range officers, open during daylight hours, shoot all day for three bucks per vehicle, not per person - it can get crowded, at times, but other times you might have the place to yourself.)

There is no 'real' hazmat fee on loaded ammo. That doesn't stop some companies from charging a 'hazmat' fee. Maybe those companies have stopped doing so, though. I haven't checked into ordering online much, lately, because I prefer to hold a product in my hand before I buy it whenever possible - not just ammo but pretty much anything I'm going to buy, if I have a choice. That way, I know there won't be any 'out of stock' delays or the like. Back when I was considering ordering ammo online, the presence of a 'hazmat' fee with at least some companies was part of what turned me off.
