Same here. Several years ago when everyone was selling ammo cheap, I

That's pretty well what I've done with 7.23x39 being the best buy I
mean .07c a shot? *and most other bulk caliber rounds I've got were
about .15c a round.

But man, .22's have even gone up. I cleaned up my dad's old Winchester
model 74 which takes .22 short only. they're kind of hard to find in
my area but i got some. $7.70 for a box of 100! Not need to reminisce
about old timer days when they were a buck-fifty *for a box of 50
either...

The best I did on military stuff was about 15c a round on some
Argentine but I did get some of that "China Sport" copper washed steel
case for around 9c but you get what you pay for. That is really
appropriate for shooting beer cans or such but it seems pretty
inconsistent in the casual shooting I have done with it. I bet a group
of 7" at 100yds might not be a bad guess.


i realize that an SKS isn't a Dragunov

And a 7.62x39 isn't near what a 7.62x54r is , but I still think
they'll group better than 7" at 100'


But a couple years ago, I went dear huning with a SKS and used Norma
brand hollow -point and it dropped deer really well. in the 2-250 yd.
range.

The deer made good sausage too!
