The local Wallyworld is sold out of most everything except Win and Rem 7.62x39. It's much more expensive than Rooskie steel case was.

But now that the price has jumped if you can even find it, I'm considering on stocking up on US-made Boxer-primed 7.62x39, getting a brass catcher, and ordering a set of dies.

Reloading for Russian short - whooda thunk it?

A sales guy at Walmart told me their distribution center isn’t ordering ammo, because they are afraid that there will be a huge tax added, and no one will want it. They don’t want to be stuck with tons of the stuff.

Yeah, there's American brass cased and it's expensive which is fine if you have the bucks. Reloading is a must do now. Wasn't too long ago that it was $69 a thousand.

Be careful of the Yugo surplus brass stuff that's around now. Mildly corrosive, which isn't a problem but it's Berdan primed so you can't reload it, in a practical way, at any rate. About the same price as the Russian steel.
