20 rounds of Wolf 7.62x54 @ $10.99

[Guest RedLights&Sirens]

I went to a Gander Mountain (in Jackson) for the first time ever yesterday and was impressed. Their selection of firearms blows away the Bass Pro here in Memphis, especially handguns.

Anyways I went straight to the ammo section and like most other places it was lacking. I did however find a large quantity of 7.62x54 which got me (as a new Mosin owner) fairly excited. They have 20 round boxes of 148 grain Wolf Non-Corrosive Polyformance for $10.99. Is this a good deal? I have three paychecks this month and would like to stock up on some ammo but am not familliar with this.

Thanks in advance for any info and help

 I don't shoot it but that sounds a little high. The surplus cans of 880 sell for about 170-200 maybe?

Yeah, that's pretty darn high, unless you have hang-ups about shooting surplus (corrosive) ammo.

I would just get a can (or case) of surplus and learn how to clean up properly after shooting.....

Wouldn't mind some of that so I could shoot my M44 indoors at Nashville Armory. Pretty sure my surplus stuff is steel core, or at least a bi-metal jacket that will attract a magnet.

Thanks for the replies. I have never used corrosive ammo before and have no problem with the idea. Most places I have found the surplus ammo seem kind of high but I really dont know what a normal price is. I did find one place that had 440 rounds for $100 a little while ago
